Vilhelm Parfumerie Dear Polly

Bergamot opens clean and citrus-bright before violet and iris take over quickly — powdery, cool, and slightly waxy in that old-school floral way. Mimosa adds a soft honeyed buzz while tuberose keeps it from going too starchy. The dry-down is where it earns its price: vetiver and sandalwood pull the powder earthward into something genuinely dry and textured, with a musk that holds close rather than broadcasting. Moderate projection, intimate sillage, lasts a solid six hours on skin — A spring-to-summer wear for anyone who likes florals with actual bone structure.
