It’s very similar to Profvmum Roma Santalvm. Sandalwood with fresh tire burn marks. I don’t like it, but if you dig Saltalvm, you might wanna try this too, it’s a bit more on the feminine side, jasmine in drydown.

It is up until now I finally realise how dry, peppery and condimentary this perfume smells, as I previously was fixated on the Divas Rose and Jasmine and as they are defintely there but then in a heady concoction of resins and spices (not pepper but anyway). I guess this is the interesting trail of the perfume a, from the start frankincense-y very much with spices and resins drenched scent lending the flowers a kind of Vero.Kern, Calligraphy Rose and even Ex Idolo Thirty Three character. The flowers are not disappeared but add mystery to an already enigmatic perfume. It has a deft oriental presence as also at once the evenly camp haute poise the other Diana Vreeland perfumes also possess, if alone due to their price, packageing, jeweltoned heavy boudoiresque flacons. Yet it is the perfume which makes a stupendous fabulous impression not so much not making it to ‘niche’ but being beyond the staasi (often) esthetics of the nichiste bastion. This perfume harks back to Gloria Swanson, Jean Harlow, Lulu. It is a fantastic experience to walk out the door to your work wearing this formidable perfume with the heavy flacon WITH YOU for protection against intruders if already not the dense perfume had knocked them dropdead red. “Onda” and “Mito” definitely come to mind while the gorgeous sandelwood give reminiscence even, to “Oudh Infini” Dusitas Diva. Mona di Orios “Osmanthus Oudh” and the undeniable “Brand-DNA” of the other Diana Vreelands’ especially Perfectly Marvelous. Yet the whole aura of specific sophistication goes to this spicey, floral and cinematic perfume itself.

I already wear Perfectly Marvellous and thought I would revisit this range to try the others. If I were going to buy a second one, this would be my choice. At first the strongest note is the sandalwood, then some powdery florals come to the fore and after several hours on the skin, the woody notes come back into prominence. Oudh isn’t listed as an ingredient but the top notes did suggest a light touch of Oudh alongside the sandalwood.
There are so many sweet scents on the market at the moment but there’s not an atom of sweetness in Absolutely Vital. This is a dry perfume in the same way that a fino sherry is dry.
How you react to a scent is so very personal and for me, although I like this very much, Perfectly Marvellous is the stand out perfume in the range.

I won a full bottle tester of Absolutely Vital at the Sniffapaloosa Fall Ball. I love it.
This is definitely a perfume for grown-ups. I’m not good with notes, etc. but I can tell you this smells like Christmas with all the balsam and other greens. So glad I was introduced to this wonderful woody fragrance.
If you like spicey perfumes you will like this.
