Since 2016, Daringly Different 2016 Diana Vreeland has never stopped surprising. This is a feminine fragrance rooted in the leather family. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Pascal Gaurin. The fragrance is presented as eau de parfum.
The sillage is moderate — present, but never overpowering. Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. Produced in the United States, and you can feel it in every note. Daringly Different 2016 Diana Vreeland unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Daringly Different 2016 is built as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Diana Vreeland comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Gourmet, Floral, Wood and Powdery without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Leather enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration High suggests confident staying power.
When the structure is mixed the fragrance opens as a single chord with a voluminous floral mood: Iris, Leather accord, Oud, Rose and Tonka bean.
The middle and base stages are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Floral, Leather, Wood and Spicy.
Taken together Daringly Different 2016 reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.
