Description
Diana Vreeland Wildly Attractive is an Exotic Floral Oud fragrance.
“Wildly Attractive was created by master perfumer Carlos Benaim and is the 11th eau de parfum in the collection. Diana Vreeland’s flair for exoticism was evident in her Vogue editorials by her choice to use unexpected models like Penelope Tree and Anjelica Huston, her far-flung shoot locations, and her over the top exhibits at the Costume Institute. As Anjelica Huston has said in reference to Mrs. Vreeland, “She had a taste for the extraordinary and the extreme.””
Top notes: mandarin, petit grain, orange blossom.
Heart: Sambac jasmine, neroli.
Base: oud, musk.
Available as a 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
Wildly Attractive was launched in 2017.

Today, I have the opportunity and honour to be invited to Diana Vrilend’s perfume presentation, whose designer is a grandson of the famous columnists of fashion magazines, Alexander. Diana, when she took over the editorial board of Vogue, completely changed its concept and swift the magazine from “social media magazine” to one of the most successful fashion magazines.
Of all perfumes that this house has issued since 2014, several are very good ones. Wildly Attractive is one of them. A bit different than most of the perfumes which contain neroli and orange blossom.
It begins with a sprinkling opening of a bark of orange, through that bitterness, they spring out and refresh the citrus notes of the beautiful neroli. This combination lasts for about half an hour, after which scent start slowly calms down, and neroli continues its fragrant play in a duet with musk. Here is 4 hours after the application, this game continues with very good intensity. The neighbour with whom I was in the elevator asked me exactly which perfume I am wearing… Oh, I was so proud and happy coz she asked me, coz she noticed and liked what she had noticed.
My nose does not feel oud at all, which makes me immensely happy!
Wildly Attractive has no indication of any chemistry in itself, everything is very natural and gives the impression of sophistication and smell so expensive!
The price is a small barrier because it costs about 220 euros per 100 ml, but in my opinion – worth the money.

Tried this yesterday at Saks. It’s pretty great if you like white or green florals! The citrus opening is strong, but I liked it. It has more “green” than you might think by looking at the notes listed here; it reminded me a bit of Chanel No. 19 and the older version of Balmain’s Vent Vert. The oud in the drydown is more subtle than usual. In fact, although I’m no expert, this seems to be a clever variation on the chypre structure, with oud standing in for oakmoss in the base. It lasted a good long time, especially because the (very helpful) sales associate slathered my hand with the DV cream, which is meant to layer companionably with all the fragrances in the line.
If the fragrance and cream were not so ridiculously expensive, I could definitely see myself buying them. As it is, they won’t be entering my collection. But if you like green florals with some “bite”, try this!
