Just okay
"Based on the reviews, i was really expecting something special but it was just ok. The scent itself is nothing unique, it's not long lasting, and projection is weak. Way overpriced. Definitely try before you buy."

A Bowie State of Mind. Berlin, a city that is alive with the same kinetic, magnetic energy that attracted David Bowie for a few exploratory and prolific years in the Seventies. Perpetual creative motion embodied in a bold collision of blueberry, lemon, bamboo, green wild orris and Haitian vetiver.
Founder Jan Vilhelm Ahlgren’s inspiration: “A tribute to David Bowie. The more I read about him, the more I felt the warm and gentle man he was behind the persona”.
Why we’re addicted: A warm amber orris scent that evolves in multi-layers to ultimately seduce the senses.
More than a perfume, Vilhelm Parfumerie is a library. If some scents are silences, these are tales. Within identical bottles, fragrances are so many narratives that call to all senses, housed in a hefty bottle of spun glass, designed by Pierre Dinand, dressed in a saffron yellow label that nods to a piece of Bakelite found in a Parisian flea market.
Northern lights and Hollywood highlights. North and South. Freshly cut grass and caressing oud. Bracing freshness and burning summer warmth. Simple pleasures and lavish times. Each fragrance is the culmination of a broad, creative and collaborative process – a rare blend of vintage and new that sparks recognition but not familiarity.
From its dynamic, innovative scents to the heritage design and timeless prints, Vilhelm Parfumerie is a nod to the past, expressed in our contemporary olfactory language and aesthetic.

"This is the best place to purchase from."
"I can see why this was sold out everywhere for awhile. It’s a pleasant scent with notes of blueberry, bamboo and vanilla. The notes are unique but not unfamiliar, sweet but not cloying. It’s a crowd pleaser."
"I love ordering my lucky scent and I was all to happy to order this through them after they sent me a sample of this . I completely fell in love with this and it’s perfect for spring and summer ."
"Goes on bright and dries cozy. If you like tobacco or woodsy scents you will like this. It will absolutely become my signature scent. Such thoughtful packaging from the shop too!"
"This perfume was sold out at other retailers. I'm so happy It was available at Beautyhabit. Customer service was great, they included extra samples which was very nice and appreciated."
