I wonder if I was given a sample of Divine Noir instead…not only is the color the same as Cocoa Tuberose & Provanilla, it smells mossy/dusty/damp with a strong vintage vibe.. Where are the “bright” citrus & flowers??

I’ve tried several of Providence Perfume’s collection, and many of them are unique and skillfully made—but THIS is the one I find wrist-sniffingly addictive. The bright citrus zing greets you happily and almost smells very rind-y, like you have your nose in a big juicy half-peeled orange while standing in a flower garden, much like with Samarinda, a boozier oriental from Providence. But that cheery citrus smooths out to a sensual soft floral & vanilla dance through the drydown with some amber that is where the real magic happens for me because it feels musky and romantic and yet so comfortable. The sillage is excellent considering there are no synthetic fixatives, and this has led to many moments of me forgetting I had applied this scent on my wrist only to catch a waft in the air and think for a split second, “WHAT is that intoxicating scent!?”
I find this less daring or creative than some of the other Providence scents I love, like Vientiane or Tabac Citron, but it’s just as lovely and so wearable. I agree with NebraskaLovesScent—Charna is one of the rare natural perfumers who really proves that even with the highly limited palette of all-natural ingredients, you can create something that’s not just “great natural perfume” but “great perfume.”

This my first time trying anything from Providence and I’m quite happy with my purchase. Divine is a wonderfully comforting fragrance that gives you the feeling of being fireside and wrapped up in a cozy blanket. It’s a warm, spicy, musky orange floral. Very well done.

Very powerful orange opening that wanders spicy musky floral. Not a vanishing watery fragrance. I think a man could wear this, although it says for woman.

This certainly lives up to its name. It is indeed Divine! It has a mossy, woodsy, chype orange feel that is warmed up by white flowers. It is feminine in a very natural way. It reminds me of Perfum d’empire’s Azemour, but is more feminine and less mossy. This is a classy one that exudes confidence and comfort. Though it doesn’t seem so, I bet this would be appropriate for any situation and any time of year. It probably changes a little with the seasons.

Providence Perfume Company makes some of my favorite scents. Period. Not just favorite natural scents. Divine shows that there is still something new to be done with the classic notes used for hundreds of years of perfumery.
Divine is a complex floral oriental fragrance with a warm and natural musk-y vibe as well. I can smell the earthy ambrette throughout the scent’s evolution. It goes on a bit sour due to citrus, and the strong floral heart notes don’t linger as long as expected. The fragrance cuts to the chase with the warm, sexy base appearing about two hours in, and lasting throughout the day. Amber and vanilla lend a sweet oriental touch to the ambrette and angelica, both of which have remarkable animalic overtones for a vegetable musk. (If you’re interested in exploring the botanical musk scents, I do recommend Divine as a good starting point.)
Divine’s sillage is heavy for the first hour or two, but the scent settles into a warm and pleasant intimacy that is still going strong nearly ten hours after application. It’s not necessarily inappropriate for the office, but wearing it somewhere that wouldn’t let you fully relax into its warm and sexy vibe seems a bit of a waste. I’ll save this one for cozy moments at home with my hubby. Thank you to Providence Perfume for providing the sample.
