Douceur de Vanille Les Nereides for women

I totally agree with Gosha: I can't detect the vanilla, the rose, the almond...it's indeed very musky and powdery, a sort of soapy and powdery musk, similar to my nose to Alyssa Ashley Musk! But it's cute and easy to wear. I prefer A.A. Musk anyway, because it's more intense and long lasting!

This is a gentle, comforting, simple, soft, clean scent.
Frankly I can't detect any of the listed notes, all I am getting here is musk and baby powder indeed. It is very modest when it comes to projection, but on me it lasts long hours in a placid, innocent way - I just keep thinking on this exceptionally sunny, warm day - that I am sooooo clean! :-) I am feeling fresh and good smelling! Hours and hours later having spent the day madly running bounty of errands, I still feel I smell like I have just stepped out of a shower. Or - indeed - that I have just spent the day lazying on a sunny beach smothered in baby oil. :-)
After several hours the fragrance is still detectable as gentle puffs of rose finally start emerging on me. Very easy and likable.

From the bottle the scent smells quite delicious. I think comparisons with L de LL seem quite in place, since the fragrances share some of the notes and the first impression is very similar. However, the difference kick in later. While L develops quite nicely and turns out to be a delicious almond cookie, Douceur de Vanille remains quite flat and lacking.

Unfortunately, there was no star anice there for me, but a tiny dose of cocoa and vanilla; it's quite powdery and pleasant, it's also a rather quiet scent keeping close to the skin. It followed me all the way from the store to my place creating a cozy, safe atmosphere. It is a bit disappointing though. As I already said, it's quite flat and after some time you realise that vanila and cocoa is all there is to it really, the lasting power is not fantastic either.

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.

If this scent was sweet a lot, I'll like it!In my skin it's not long lasting:(

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.
