Perfumer: Alexis Dadier.
Notes of citral, quinina, cinchona bark, licorice, vetiver.
Part of the "Dare the metamorphosis" unisex perfume line.
An effervescent woody aromatic fragrance swimming in the masculine side with a distinctive unpredictable and addictive touch.
"Vanities" starts delicious, with a delightful sweet-tart bubbly citrus top notes, that, unfortunately, rapidly fades off and force us to dive into a dark, deep blend of licorice and noble woods.
We all by now that Mugler's world is all full of contrasts, make it paradoxical, extravagant, even powerful yet fragile.
The whole marketing soul is well represented in this juice; there's a magnificent, seriously addictive note in the background that bring me olfatory pictures of an effervescent drink. Maybe the citral used in the glorious CDG "Soda", as both shared that bubbly body. According to Osmoz.com the hidden note is no more, not less than the quinine (a bitter note that you’ll recognize from Schweppes Indian Tonic).
It actually makes a lot of sense. Just in a second, I can feel the effervescence.
The scent becomes beautiful and sharp, with overdoses of licorice, maybe "too much on my face", for an anti-licorice nose as mine, but melting grandly with the quinina.
Being patience till we raise the drydown, you will be rewarded by an ambery-incense note as in a very handsome, manly, kind.
Unisex?. I don't really think so. I can't picture any woman wearing this even it, really. Too manly, delicious, dark, but at the same time, bright. I love it.
Projection is massive and the perfume as all of the Mugler's house has a loongg lasting time.
