A nice sharp rose floral that feels mature, but not old-fashioned or overwhelming. It’s still on my arms after 6 hours. Has moderate sillage.

I love the smell of this perfume from the bottle. It is a light & green scent that is very fresh and unique. However, on my skin it turns very sweet & a bit heavy. It is not by any means bad but it smells like a completely different perfume (and one I like a bit less).
Dahlia & vines mostly keeps its original lightness when sprayed on my clothes but I wish that it didn’t change so much on my skin :(. I will have to test it a few more times to see if it is worth keeping.
ChrisMY – :
This is one of the worst named scents I’ve found. Dahlias and vines makes me think of autumn and and I would have expected a very green and earthy floral. That doesn’t begin to describe this soft and sweet floral.
There is a sweet creaminess that is unexpected with the listed notes. My first thought was roses and Strawberry Shortcake. There is a sweet fruitiness that reminds me of strawberry candy and doll skin. The peony and Rose is primary and its grounded in green-ness that keeps it from being a “pretty princess floral.”
All and all it’s quite pleasant.

This is very pretty but not unique or stand out in anyway. Thats not always a bad thing. Sometimes you dont want loud, unique or distracting. For a casual signature or office perfume this would be nice. Whoever voted that its similar to Eternity Moment I think thats accurate but it has been awhile since I had Eternity Moment. Its lovely & Ill enjoy wearing the rest of what I have but I wont be rebuying this.

I got this as my first Scentbird selection. I’m in Love! This is a walk through a secret garden after the rain. It starts wonderfully fresh. Not the fresh of detergent. It’s the fresh of living greens, and the air after the rain. Then there is a gentle wave, soft, but not powdery, of flowers. I get a whiff of rose, maybe peony, but neither is powdery. These flowers have dew on them. Both the freshness and flowers stay, and then there’s something spicy. Not like pepper. More like wet tomato leaves. A little musk calms all of this down and makes it approachable.
Lovely and wearable. I am getting this for sure. <3
tayas – :
I love this. It reminds me of Derek Lam’s hi-fi, except softer. This is a real winner for me, and is even prospecting for signature spring. It’s competition is sky di gioia

Because I followed the votings in here stating that this one is similar to Victoria’s Secret XO Victoria, I went to Sephora to test spray it on my skin. And nope…it does not smell anything like that VS XO Victoria 🙂 VS XO Victoria has the green apple scent as the most dominant note when this one does not have anything that smells like apple at all. Besides, VS XO Victoria has very nice “powdery” dry down while this one just has “woodsy/musky” dry down 🙂
I guess this one is neutral and being just alright with soft rose scents. There is nothing special about it that I haven’t smelled before, or good enough to wow me in order to pay $72 plus tax for a 1.7 oz bottle. If it is a gift to me or half off in price, then OK, I’ll wear it or would buy one 🙂
When it comes to rose fragrance, my favorite and highly recommended one is still the Eau Rose by Diptyque.

Dahlia and Vines! Such a gorgeous scent! After trying it at Sephora one day,I knew I had to have it. To me, this instantly takes me to a garden full of flowers, in a slightly cold evening and just after it rained. I can smell the green vines and the flowers which to me they seem just wet by the rain, I’ve never smelt peonies before, but I know how roses smell and I am not picking up a rose scent at all. All I can smell in this is a very pretty floral, which I guess is the peony, green notes and fruits! I can see where some of you are coming from when you say it seems mature, it does have a grown up, or Elegant vibe to it which might make it feel like it’s for mature women,I guess its the musk which is quite noticeable in the fragrance, but I don’t mind it at all! It is so beautiful, elegant but still young,and romantic! I just turned 30 so I still consider my self pretty young, but grown up and more as a Women than a girly girl. This might be suitable for women from mid 20’s to 30’s and up. It is quite strong at first, but soon after it gets so beautiful, so lady-like, very floral and green at the same time.
A wonderful experience I had with Dahlia and Vines was when I just bought it, I put some behind my ears and on my wrists, and sat on my bed where my 3 year old daughter was, and she comes towards me.. hugs me.. takes a deep breath.. and hugs me again and sniffs my neck and says ” Mama,you smell pretty” she then smiles and keeps snugling on me!
I felt this one is going to be a staple of mine! I’m going to use it all winter season that’s about to come and I feel it’s going to turn into one of my most special and significant scents of all time..
Unsusesit – :
Perfect summer floral. During the summer, I prefer light, flowery scents like Eau d’ Chloe and Be Delicious or clean fragrances like Oxygene. Ever a fan of Nest, I think Dahlias and Vines will be a warm weather scent I keep around. It may come across as a little mature to some.
migusha – :
* These are my personal experiences/thoughts with this fragrance. Yours/others may differ. *
Initial – peony + rose + musk
Drydown – musk + rose
Duration – 6 hours
Projection – moderate
Experiences – I love peony and roses, but the musk in this is too strong. I get a very mature vibe from this fragrance.
Quick Thoughts – very musky, floral, old-fashioned
barf30 – :
Very pretty, clean floral. Would recommend if you like Daisy and flankers.
Edit: it actually gets more interesting the longer you wear it. I still think it’s a safe blind buy for those who like clean, delicate and/or fresh floral scents, but there are more layers to it than I’d initially thought.
al1976 – :
Smells nice, pleasant, inoffensive. Not unique though, generic floral for me. Moderate longevity and poor sillage. Would not purchase full size.
tod163 – :
Very torn about this one. I’ve smelled it many times at Sephora and recently got a sample. Initial spray is heavy 80s floral (a precious reviewer had mentioned Jessica McClintock, and I do get the reference ) — mixed with white grape juice — and makes me think of a Hello Kitty play fragrance that I once had as a child.
Fortunately, once Dahlia & Vines settles down, and the white musk comes into play, it becomes more pleasant. I would describe this as a sharper, less well-rounded Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet — they could be distant cousins — so I can see why D&V is a top seller at Sephora, being a decent floral.
However, where Dior BB is restrained and coquettish, Nest D&V is brash and a bit tipsy. I’ll use up my sample and consider a rollerball, but for me, this is not full bottle worthy.
Crunk_Drama – :
Smells good, but not my favorite. Don’t get me wrong! It’s a very nice, floral fragrance, but that’s really all it is. Your everyday floral perfume. At least on me it smelled too simple. I feel like this is one of those fragrances you can gift just about anyone and they’ll like it. Although I can appreciate any good-smelling perfume, I am more intrigued by perfumes that smell unique. If I smell a perfume and it gives me goosebumps, I know that’s the one. Again, it’s a very good-smelling perfume, but probably not one I’ll purchase.
semrid – :
There are roses here, and grape juice. And peony. I know that sounds horrible, but it’s not. It’s finely tuned and well designed. It’s very intriguing. Soft, rosy – but young and fresh. It is sweet, this is a sweet perfume (not sweet like “candy” but it is sweet.) And alcoholic – as if you’d gone to a fancy party wearing rose perfume and accidentally spilled wine on yourself.
Like all Nest scents, this is unique. And weird. Whether you want a bit of strange in your perfume is up to you, but you will be unique and be wearing something that probably no one else in the room is wearing. They seemed to have covered all bases: a rose scent, a patchouli scent, a citrus scent, etc.
I still have to complete my journey through this line but I am enjoying myself so far.
SECOND TRIAL: Actually this is very pleasant. I’m pleased. This really does smell like a mix of red wine and roses.
The grape drydown, however, which appears after about two hours, is unpleasant and plastic-smelling. That is why this is not full-bottle worthy.
kraisler – :
This smells like heaven to me. Period. I ordered the sample originally from scentbird, but knew from reading about it that I would be in love and I am. I now own the sample, a 1.7, a 3.4, and a .17 (got lucky, lucky at a couple ebay auctions). It’s definitely floral so all those who shy away from that kind of scent won’t like it, but to me it’s intoxicating. I get strong peony and that’s a great love of mine. The grape they added is sooo unique that it sets it apart from all other florals of this kind. I highly recommend this. Try it through scentbird if you’re shy about it and then search ebay a bit for deals otherwise it’s a bit pricey.
babaj – :
This is peonies and grapes for me, which on my skin blends to something like very soft violet with a light powdery finish. No rose anywhere on me. Just gently sweet slightly fruity floral. I like this for daytime. It’s soft and pretty.
bender_133 – :
Finally, a floral for me! White florals and musk smell awful on me, and you’d be surprised how many perfumes have them. I do not get a whiff of musk or grape. There is a depth behind the floral that is probably due to those notes. This is a well blended linear scent. I get a heady but down to earth romantic bouquet. I do not smell rose. The opening is softly green (narcissus/daffodils). The peony is beautiful without smelling like Bath and Body Works.
This is a simple but feminine perfume. It makes me feel pretty and natural. I could see wearing this on no make-up days or any occasion when I might need a sundress (garden parties, baby showers, etc). This would also be great as a girl’s first perfume to go with a first lip gloss. light, simple, femme, and beautiful.
Edit: I never reach for this. It is a bit high pitch and screechy, and I regret the buy
LIVIAGOTH – :
Just like an English garden. Imagine you’re walking past mossy, vine-covered stone walls flanked by peonies. The mossy undertone of this scent points to the “vines” part of the name. I get mostly floral though; if there is rose, it is a different kind than I’m used to. Timelessly feminine. I got it as part of a set and almost gave it away as it’s not particularly my style, but it smells just like a novelty perfume I had as a child. Will probably use from time to time in spring and summer.
amalpisajal – :
Great smelling parfum. I layered it with Prada Rose
bazateka2010 – :
Kind of a subtle, typical flower scent. Rosy, soft, and soapy. Like a just-used bath towel. People can only smell it if they hug you.
The scent progresses like this:
ROSE (It’s more rose than peony)
Peony
Barely-there bit of musk, I think
Definite hint of grape sweetness in the dried state, but you’d never call it that unless you read the notes here.
I blind-bought this in a discounted set.
So sadly, I must say: I wouldn’t actually buy it. But then again, it doesn’t smell BAD. So I’m keeping it.
vitya.denis – :
So pretty and unique. It’s fresh, but in a soft way, not at all bright or sharp. It has a dewy earthiness that makes it smell very natural, like flowers in the forest after rain. I normally don’t even like anything with rose in it, but I think the “garden vines” aspect balances the rose and keeps it from becoming too strong/sweet. This is a truly beautiful scent that will be perfect for spring!
wremnjitreste – :
I wanted to love the way this smelt on me because I enjoyed the way it smelt on the paper, but unfortunately not. To me it is feminine and floral, which are two of my favorite aspects of a perfume, but perhaps it is too floral. Also, I feel that perhaps this is for someone in their 40’s. I find it a bit of a “home” scent. I would rather have a candle that smelt like this. I actually had to wash this off my arm because the floral was just too overpowering.
kakarda – :
What a lovely floral, different than anything I’ve had. Thoughtfully crafted too. No patchouli bomb or no overdone vanilla, just sweet
Not too sweet and tangy? Fresh and very feminine, lots of fresh flowers. Love it!
gangsta777 – :
Sniffing directly from my splash bottle I smell the usual faint alcohol and something I can only pick up in scented hairsprays. It isn’t by any means unpleasant. Even huffing directly from the bottle it isnt burn-the-nostril strong.
I get a sweet fruity scent once its on my skin. There are roses sitting by the fruit juice and those two scents mingle together and make something I have not ever smelled before in any other perfume. There is something cute and young about this fragrance but at no point did it smell cheap. It’s sophisticated in its simplicity and I think any woman could pull this off.
ReellProtsher – :
This is one of my favorite perfumes. I have it in a purse spray a splash. I absolutely love. For those who like a sweet floral without a strong musk or patchouli note I would suggest this sent.
4ebyrator – :
I am wearing this today after putting on rose scented lotion after my shower, thinking it will extend the scent but dammit, it’s all but gone! There is a lingering lovely fragrance but not enough for me to enjoy it on myself. I have had it on for no more than 2 hours! I’m soooo glad this was a sample from Sephora to try before I buy, otherwise I would be pissed right about now!
I like rose in it as rose is fav of mine, but there IS something a little different in there that is nice too.
I see other reviewers mention peony and since I LOVE Jo Malone’s Peony Blush and Suede, that must be what is different and while I like it, I cannot honestly say I am getting a full first impression because it’s practically GONE!
I hope it’s just that I have gotten used to the scent and it’s still here. My goal is not to wear a scent for others but to wear it as an expression of my mood and state of mind. So, I’m okay with others needing to really be in my personal space to catch a whiff, but I want to actually enjoy it too.
I may try it again as the sample was pretty generous so we shall see.
Getetedlosy – :
Lots of Peony & Rose , with Rose being slighty more noticed .
A simple scent that is nice enough if you like Rosy scents .
Close to the skin with moderate longevity ,
be nice for a spring or summer day .
kem1979 – :
I really like this fragrance. Amidst the many bright floral fragrances that are “in” right now, Dahlia & Vines really stands out. Sweet without being cloying, bright without suffocating, Dahlia & Vines is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a unique daytime fragrance to add to their collection.
Inpurfentenue – :
A delicate, unobtrusive floral. If I were more drawn to florals this is the type I would buy. I smell the grapes from the top, a nice touch, though they subdue themselves quickly leaving a drydown that’s soft, only mildly sweet, and as fresh as the Spring. It reminds me of pleasant times in Napa Valley.
DamianBlack – :
If you love peony, this might be for you. If you love rose, you may want to try this. On the other hand, I admire and enjoy sniffing these flowers, but do not love them in perfumes where they take center stage, and the peony here has a big ole spotlight on it. Rose is trying masterfully nudge it aside. It’s all just too much for me, and I will not be attending any repeat performances.
ForJulie – :
I really like this scent. It is complex and feminine. I don’t feel like this is a straight forward rose scent, but it does have a good mix of floral and green to keep it fresh. Love the bottle!
Irrerbrom – :
Dahlia & Vines is a very romantic scent that makes me think of playing Chopin Nocturnes in the summertime. To my nose this is a “yellow” floral, but, (thankfully for me) no freesia screeches through the delicate balance. This has the mood of Bond No. 9 Chelsea Flowers, or iconic Jessica McClintock perfumes. I feel joy when I smell this on others, because it’s quite lovely. It’s wonderful when such an exceptional fragrance become popular, because it roots signature moments in time like nothing else. I think Dahlia & Vines will be redolent of dreamy memories for a long time.
sham – :
I just purchased the collection that houses five small .25 fl oz bottles. The packaging is elegant, and because the bottles are so small, it is also incredibly cute.
Each perfume’s notes are listed on the box they come in, and the Dahlia & Vines notes are somewhat different than fragrantica’s listed notes. The box claims that D & H has the following: Peony, garden rose, and dewy daffodils are blended with the essence of garden vines, white amber, and warm vanilla.
The florals are most prominent on my skin, and as I love florals, it’s really full to me. I like rose a lot, but perfer a fragrance that pairs rose with another floral to make it less typical. I just applied it, so I bet the florals will quiet as it drys down and let the amber and vanilla sing the finale.
I have to wear it a few more times, since this isn’t a fragrance I am immediately in love with, but I have a suspicion that I will grow to love it. Will I purchase a full size bottle once this .25 fl oz runs out? Maybe!
myradzen – :
There’s something I can’t place in this floral. It’s a lovely scent but it is austere and clean. Not a hint of fruitiness. Not in the least cloying. I think it would be a great scent for the workplace – inoffensive and fresh.
Sllash – :
one of the best florals ever!! so soft (yet noticeable), pretty, feminine, SEXY, and just…..really good smelling! It has rose, but not the sickening or old-fashioned kind, all the notes blend perfectly together. I can’t see how this can be offensive to anyone…a classically beautiful, yet modern scent! And it lasts. My new favorite! : )
Gmod95 – :
I love the freshness of the scent..but sadly it’s not my chemistry…it just turns like a floor cleaner on me. Lol…and my hubby totally hated it.. “He goes…”what is that you sprayed? …it’s like bug spray or plant spray…lol….but sheez…it’s a green floral.. But peony…or etc…just turns on my skin…..
NeSa55 – :
This is a lovely blend… the peony and rose are well-balanced and held together by a subtle fresh green note which must be the narcissus. The musk supports the florals and keeps them from becoming too bright. This works well as a casual evening scent and is quite long lasting. Beautiful.
LiGoLais0 – :
I love this scent! imagine that you’re taking a stroll across a field of roses. <3
ahh. amazing scent.
Di_gfufi – :
My wife is quite in touch with fashion (works in the industry) and has taken home countless products and samples. My nose is particular and I haven’t particularly liked the smell of anything she’s brought home. Until this product. She even said, “I’m not sure if it’s actually a perfume or a home scent” (because of the marketing) and I replied, I don’t care. This is amazing! Perfect combination, to my chef’s nose, of musk and flowers.
I am so glad to discover this website and explore a community of people who care so much about their senses!
vvmihali4 – :
On me, this starts off as a big white floral. I don’t usually care for heavy floral, but this actually dries down to a pretty, gentle floral with a touch of sweetness. Even if it dries down to a lighter scent, this scent stays with you for a long time; this whole line has a pretty good longevity which I can appreciate. I think there is something for everyone with these Nest perfumes releasing soon as Sephora, so they are definitely worth testing. Thank you to Cafleurebon.com for educating me about these any many other fine fragrances.
