Douceur de Vanille by Les Nereides

glitteralex

This has been compared to baby oil by more than one tester. I have to say, it is far more than that...Douceur de Vanille is a day at the beach- complete with baby oil for tanning, Desitin for baby bottoms and noses, melted chocolate almonds in a waxed paper bag, wild beach roses, salt air, warm squashed fruits, and sweating bottles of cream soda. Despite all this, DdV is not heavy or gourmand. This is not the powder of Flora Bella by Lalique or the candy of Montale's Chocolate Greedy, however, it may be the delicate and devastatingly beautiful sister of "L" by Lolita Lempicka. Instead, DdV is elusive, giving the wearer just a weaving glimpse of some uncertain seaside memory. I only wish it lasted a bit longer, but likely that is part of its allure. Like others, I find something hauntingly familiar about this perfume. For me, perhaps it is the scent of past days at my grandparents' beach house. It is sure to hold a memory for you, as well....

This opening is nice enough, soft vanilla. The dry down is Johnson's Baby Oil, at least on my skin. Not worth the purchase price of a full bottle.

This smells so good, I remember a perfume my late mother used to wear that had these same musky undertones, I cannot remember the name, but boy she smelled good. Now that she is gone, I like to wear this scent as a comforting reminder of her. Its absolutely gorgeous and soft my husband likes it too

It's a soft, warm vanilla, long lasting and special. Not sweet, not the plain vanilla fragrance, interesting perfume.
I like it!

baby oil. lying in the sun trying to catch a tan, covered in baby oil. that is the impression that i get. (yes we used to do this back in the day...gasp) it eventually dries down to almost a vanilla scent, but if you do not like baby powder or baby lotion do not attempt this one. this would be great for people under the age of 20, or perhaps a gentle and quiet soul who would never harm a fly. too gentle for my liking.
