My husband's appraisal of this captured my opinion perfectly: "Smells like I have a cigar smoker's spit on me...but not in a bad way."

Very well built fragrance.... Despite the very green notes advertised, it starts off quite fruity/aquatic (a light watermelon note, some ozonic/water like notes) but then this sweet start turn...

I was drawn to try this fragrance by the name alone, it's really, really beautiful. The notes list was highly intriguing to me too, promising the smell of fresh cut herbs, yet the components are...

classic aramis for men done softer: a lovely, leathery chypre in the drydown (this is where it is like aramis). the top and middle are a bit fruity, a tad sweet, rather green and herbal, and very...

My first whiff of Vie de Chateau immediately conjured up associations of Edmond Roudnitska's masterpieces "Parfume de Therese" and "Diorama". It has the same classic perfume style as these fellow...

I am one of the people on whom this perfume doesn't display any of the notes it promised - hay, leather, tobacco. There's a very strong sweet coconuty top note that lingers to the very end. And...

This fragrance sounded like my dream perfume--tobacco, leather, and hay are favorite notes--so I expected to love it. But it just doesn't quite work. I get a note that smells like watermelon candy,...

I"m not sure I'm getting any tobacco here, but I do get a foody, coconut edge with vanilla and a hint of wood that's lovely. I will definitely be looking for this on sale. It's extremely wearable...

Lovely in the vial, immediately sour tobacco on the skin. IMMEDIATEly turns foul. Incredible. I love PdN in general but this is perhaps my least favorite. True to form, I disagree with just about...

If a perfumer set out to capture late summer/early fall in a fragrance, it would be very difficult to top Vie de Chateau. It is perfect herby grassy late afternoon sunshine over trees just...

This is quite nice-- hay, a hint of leather, and grass. For the first 10 minutes, it smells quite a bit like CdG #2-- crisp, tangy, almost citrusy, but with a more earthy base. On the drydown, the...

I don't even know where to begin. This is positively one of the most amazing fragrances I have ever had the opportunity to behold. Like previous reviewers, I am massively enamored with tobacco...

I put on Vie de Chateau somewhat lackadaisically with no major expectations as the site simply had mentioned freshly cut grass, oakmoss, leather and hay. I was looking for the leather and hay,...

Very nice mellow leather note I haven't found before. A decidedly non-sweet mellow fragrance. This would go well for fall, and for days when your style is kind of (like the clothing of) Donna...
