Natural and synthetic fragrances: what's the difference and which are better

The world first encountered VG V by Van Gils in 1996. A masculine fragrance belonging to the fern and wood families. This fragrance is the result of a creative collaboration between Michel Almairac and Amandine Clerc-Marie. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.
It carries a noticeable sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. It doesn't linger long, but it always leaves a mark — longevity is very low. Brand country — the Netherlands. VG V Van Gils unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has very low longevity and lasts only about 1 hour on the skin, leaving only a light, barely perceptible trail
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
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 composition of VG V evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Van Gils is clear in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In longevity terms Very low indicates a stable lasting impression.
In the first seconds you sense piquant warm opening notes: Coriander and Red Orange.
When the opening settles you sense Lavender, Peach Blossom and Virginian Cedar carrying a aromatic green direction.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Spicy, Citrus, Green and Floral. The palette also extends to Wood, Ambery, Earthy / Mossy and Gourmet.
Taken together VG V holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.
