Weil De Weil Weil for women

I had a vintage of this, PdT as I recall, and it was one of the most horrible perfumes I ever smelled. Maybe it was the bottle, but it was sooo unpleasant... yak!

Does body chemistry turn this into nice, don't know...

I totally agree with a previous review on this being incredibly similar to Balmain's original Vent Vert. The initial intense greenery slowly softening and becoming warmer and sunnier. Lovely in summer, as it conjures up gentle breezes and sunny wild flower meadows. Very pretty and very elegant.

A favorite. Yes, it is really green. It seems like a daytime version of Vol de Nuit to me. I owned the vintage splash back when it wasn't vintage; current iteration is still good.

Edited to add that I agree with Carla, there is a distinct civet note. I also catch leather in the drydown.

Weil is the most underrated house—or was. The name is now owned by the French firm Aroli, how true they've hewn to the originals I can't tell you.

Dirty!
Long lasting!
Sexy!

Easily mixed with some stupid florientals just a drop of it to make the little bottles last longer.

Much nicer than Vent Vert it is a winter heavy weight knock off.
The dirty note is not patchouli, but narcissus which is surpirsing?!

This perfume is green all over the place!! It is a very grassy and thick green. Mossy and woody too! It is a true classic, a real must haves for the green queens here! I think it is like a high end Vent Vert. A shame it is so hard to get!

Vintage Weil De Weil is a gleaming fragrance with a viridescent radiance like no other floral green that I have encountered. The prominent opening note of the fresh non-soapy galbanum with it's grassy green, pine-resin like quality seems to be an ideal scent to wear in this age of the "going green" phenomenon. I would, per se, coin it as environmentally friendly. The top notes tangle together nicely with the tangerine and neroli notes then joined by a slight undertone of hyacinth keeping the greenness at bay .

Step into the heart and a medley of colorful fragrant flowers arise, with lily of the valley as the headliner and a gimpse of rose peeking through. This in turn adds to the frabjous aroma to this unparalleled creation. Base notes consisting of pure golden sandalwood topped with an overlay of light musk, lemongrass vetiver and finally the oakmoss, keep the greenery of the scent ongoing from top to bottom. Of course, it's no surprise Weil added civet (notorious for their usage of this note in their compositions) to complete this scent to sublimity.

If you can locate this vintage classic from 1971, I highly recommend this fragrance. The WOW factor of green is huge. It's like go big or go home! Wearing this uncommon and unique perfume will have your friends green with envy.
