It’s so interesting to read how others perceive scent. I don’t agree that Vangelis and Virgile smell similar. The first phase of Virgile is brighter and sharper. Vangelis leans gourmand with a smokey vibe (contrary to the notes listed, incense is absent).
I do agree that the similar vanilla dominant dry down does connect them, but that is expected. Of the two offerings, I prefer the herbal notes that make Virgile unique for a vanilla fragrance, and I can squeak out a bit more in terms of projection and longevity which is slightly below average in terms of performance.
Several differing opinions mean this is something you should experience for yourself and the discovery kit makes this possible. Order direct from Sylvaine Delacourte and and get all five vanilla based offerings.

I do agree with @Mak-7, this is quite similar to “Vangelis”, the only 2 notes that make them different are clementine in “Vangelis”, and herbal chocolate in “Virgile”, it just begins with thyme and ends with choco vanilla but not in a gourmand.
This collection is very safe and cute for the ones who likes ordinary innocent vanilla that could be used sensually and in an erotic way.

This is one beautiful delectable vanilla. The aromatic elements sadly fade quite quickly but that is their nature.
If you have steered away from vanilla centred scents in fear of smelling too girly then this is the one for you.
The herbs and wood notes keep it very unisex. It’s a creamy vanilla with a nice bit of kick but oh so very smooth.
I love Sylvaines creations. They are exquisite. My only problem has been they just don’t hang around more than a few hours with the sillage low for most of that time. Her scents also remain pretty linear so what you sniff at first is what will largely remain to the end. I’m happy with linear.

I have to disagree with the former review, Vangelis and Virgile are very different to my nose. Vangelis is powdery with gourmand vibe, almondish and slightly buttery salty; Virgile is more refreshing and no gourmand to me.

Lesser version of Vangelis. Same stuff but more tame.
