Diamella Yves Rocher for women

It is a beautiful perfume, and I must thank the reviewers below for introducing me to it. I find it a very easy scent to wear, too, surprise, surprise for something so mossy! I use it in the morning, after work, as a pick me up and as a going to bed scent. It is not sharp or strong as one would expect of a mossy chypre, it is soft and wistful. (Perhaps the result of aging? I own a splash bottle) It must include some incense and something resinous, and slightly waxy. But it is not heavy, pretentious or demanding. It is playful, fresh and mysterious...

Mystery and beauty in a cristal bottle!

This was recommended to me by *sophi* who praised the sophisticated character of this vintage scent and compared it to Dioressence. Since I didn't know that either I just grabbed the chance and ordered this.

And she was right! The vintage-formula is something you won't find in this concentration and quality no more. The moss is incredibly strong, vibrant and intense in a way I never expected. Sadly I'm not in a place of my perfume-evolution where I really can enjoy this. I tried other scents with (oak-)moss: IsaBella, Goddess - Hommage a Greta Garbo where the moss coincides with vanilla/spice themes. And even then I can barely tolerate it.

BEsides the flowers there have to be some slight spices in it too, like caraway and orris root. And maybe even something green like galbanum. Would I have to take a bet I would maybe say the flowers go in some direction of peony and rose...

I can't agree with the Oriental Spice-reference since this is a full bodied chypre (not even a chypre-floral), neither to the comparison to AnaisAnais.

I think people who miss the quality of lately changed fragrances of the chypre category should def. try this, since this is still possible to find despite being disc. and leave the new reformulated ones alone.

I have a whole 80ml up for swap (might make me a 10ml decant to test again) for those missing this scent!

I have several versions of Anais Anais including the 1st release edt, which I am wearing right now. And do you know that it is Exactly Exactly totally Diamella! 1st release Anais Anais = Diamella!!

This is one gem of a scent!! I always wanted to have one, and now I am the proud owner of this!
I remember seeing it in an YR brochure and showing it to a much older neighbour friend and convincing her to order it for herself, since I had smelled it in a sachet, a scented tissue.
It smelled like heaven to me, I so wanted to have one but was only 8-9 years old. My mom did not let me have this because it was expensive and I was too young.
Now I am so happy, I am going to use this very sparingly since its a splash bottle, but so simple and beautiful, just like a diamond. I will pour the scent in a purse spray.
Just like Action described, the scent is indeed very complex. In the beginning its a bit piercing,probably oak moss,but oh my... the drydown is soft, beautiful and alluring. A true gem by Yves Rocher!!!

So I found another perfume that fits the category of Diamella, besides Dioressence, and it is Leonard Tamango!
I would say the vintage Tamango is identical to Diamella. All three perfumes typical Oriental Spicy perfumes that are very dominant!

You are right Iset, this is a really interesting perfume and very hard to get! I got so lucky to have a bodycream of this one as well. It is an incredibly strong perfume too. If i put on the cream it is as putting on the perfume itself!

This is absolutly one of my favorite fragrances. I have written Yves Rocher to reintroduce this one. It is really hard to get. I have gone through several bottles.

Yes it arrived and it is quite exquisite!
I would rate it a very complex chypre, family of Dioressence.
Beautiful!

This is an extremely hard to get. Today I am expecting a vintage 1.7 oz after a long search. This perfume is a wonderful chypre, it does remind me of the scent when you walk in a church. It has a spiritual effect in a way.
