Vain & Naive is a fruity, sweet, Musky scent created in 2018 by perfumer Chris Maurice.
Review
This scent is instantly soft, sweet and flirty. It stays soft, but will last for hours, and maintains a sweet and romantic feel that makes it perfect for snuggling up with that special someone. It is suitable to wear anywhere, anytime. It is comparable to a much softer version of Amouage Lyric Woman, or Lalique Reve d’Infini with more body to it.
Inspiration
Vain & Naive takes inspiration from the story of The Little Prince and the love story within. The Little Prince falls in love with a Rose he finds on his asteroid, and as with new love a bond and attachment forms, then hurt and heartbreak. Later, on Earth, The Little Prince realizes that there is more than one Rose in existence, but he loves his one Rose. “There might be millions of Roses in the whole world, but you are my only one, unique Rose.”
Notes
A bright burst of Citrus is calmed with a Rose and Jasmine combination. That subtle spicy floral mix is lightened with Raspberry and Plum, and a touch of crisp Cedar. A sweet thread of Benzoin and Tonka Bean warmed with hints of Sandalwood and Amber, while a wisp of Musk and ever-so-subtle Patchouli help to keep the softness of this scent lasting.
