Want DSQUARED² for women

I am in love with this one... owned a bottle from 5 years ago... and the juice color tirnes super dark and the scent event becoming richer and deeper...

I even already have 2 back up bottles, knowing that this gorgeous cheapy already discontinued...

Its underrated,, waayyy below the radar...
Sad....
Actually this perfume offers a very great scent, expensive smelling powdery vanilla with perfect spiciness, the performance also 8/10 for me (considering the price range) and it has a super cute bottle...

Its perfect for warm weather but not cloying to wear on sunny day...

TBH, now I am thinking about ot the vanillic character somehow reminds me on Guerlain Angelique Noire 😅 only remind me of... I guess the heliotrope is the one that play the powdery character... the vanilla is far away from being gourmand-ish... the woody notes and the ginger giving the perfect warmth to it...

I am in love... yet sad because its been discontinued

Beautiful perfume! I am not a huge fan of vanilla, but this one really impressed me.
Sweet, spicy and powdery vanilla, smells expensive for its price.
I am disappointed that designer brands don't release such perfumes anymore.

Sadly it's discontinued, but I found it yesterday in a perfume shop near my house
... And it was on sale!!! 😍 So, for me it isn't a vanilla perfume; it's more complex, it'a a sweet floral scent, with a powdery, vanillic undertone. I can't smell any similarity with Kenzo Amour; it rather seems to me like a lovely son of Flower Kenzo and Tresor Lancome, with extra vanilla and powdery notes! It's so beautiful and long lasting, it's suits so well my tastes right now. I'm so happy to have found a 50 ml bottle of this one ❤️.

I bought this because the flacon looked solid and unique in the picture, and when it arrived it’s exactly so. The glass bottle is heavy, and the stopper is massive!

The scent itself, nothing really special. Just a nice woody vanilla enhanced by delicious heliotrope. I couldn’t smell rose and pink pepper here. It actually reminds me a bit of Raghba but without oud. Less creamy-lactonic version of Kenzo Amour. Not bad. I’ll keep it because of the flacon.

Vanilla! Yummy!

Something new at home 🌧️🍂🍁 beautiful autumn vanilla cake 🥧 I can imagine wearing it during Christmas 🎄🎁

This is so similar to Jo Malone Vanilla & Anise though Vanilla & Anise is just a tad bit toned down. If you have one you don’t need the other.

I like the bottle it is quirky and looks cool amongst my collection. This is surprisingly a really nice vanilla, just doesn't last on my skin as it is super affordable I do not mind respraying.

My experience with Want is very similar to Eternity Girl's review below, I only blind-bought one bottle thankfully. It starts out nice enough, pretty straightforward vanilla but then devolves into a weird bitter smell that I have to scrub off! No sir, I don't like it.

I am so sad this perfume is discontinued. On me it smells like pure vanilla extract or vanilla beans mixed with a hint of red rose. Deep and sexy, while remaining inoffensive. One of the best perfumes I have ever smelled, with great longevity and sillage. A compliment getter for sure.

Blind buy for me. I was super confident I would adore Want. So confident I ordered 2 x 100ml bottles.
Stupid me. Fail !!
Very powdery heliotrope vanilla which should be gorgeous but its just wrong on me. The vanilla is like a vanilla extract concentrate which is good but doesnt work with the heliotrope, which is a note I usually love. Its slightly medicinal which isnt necessarily a bad thing but the whole thing is a mess on me. Im disappointed it doesn't work as I want to love Want.
I do adore the wacky billiard ball lid. The thick gold band that wraps around the bottle with the named stamped into it is great. The whole bottle is weighty and substantial which I like.
The longevity is quite poor, doesnt linger more than 2 hours tops.
I wish I had ordered the Ginger one particularly as its very hard to come by now.

Purchased a bottle of this as it has been compared to a few of my favourites (blind buy for a relatively cheap price). This has me really confused..... I love the vanilla and I love the soapy, clean smell but both of them together in one bottle? I'm wearing it now and I didn't want to scrub it off, which is a good thing, but I need to test it a few more times before I make my mind up. Will update.

Vanilla heaven. The dry down is gorgeous! The vanilla reminds me of those small vanilla sugar packages that you add into your batter when you make a cake. Its my winter scent and strangely...i get a lot of compliments when i wear it and even ask what perfume it is...

Someone noted that Wanted smells like a combination of a vanilla gourmand and soap powder and I agree. Good performance in this bottle if the scent floats your boat. And if you are looking for a plastic golf ball, the cap on this bottle might work.

I don’t hate this scent but it’s not a love either. Dry down does get smoother but most scents do. Underwhelmed, a pass.

Maybe my nose is tricking me, but I'd say this is a mix of Joop Le Bain and Kenzo Flower (rather than Amour). I do get vanilla, but it's not just all about that, at least on my skin.

Ps. I tossed the cap and put Katy Perry Indi's cap on as that one simply just fitted. Still not pretty, but anything better than that ridiculous bowling ball!

It's not a bad fragrance. I own pink ginger, which in my eyes (to my nose) is much more enjoyable. Any time I could reach for this, pink ginger is always preferable. Therefore, the only time it ever gets any love is when I'm trying to force myself to enjoy it more. But every time, I can't help thinking about how pink ginger is much better...edit: I agree with the above reviewer, somehow this is gourmand and soapy! Normally I love Rose but maybe it's the rose in this combo that amps up the soapiness. Pink ginger doesn't have that soapy note, and is more gourmand.

I'm so confused and disappointed. Out of every note listed here, the only thing my skin is pulling when I wear this is rose. A heavy, powdery, headache-inducing rose. No ginger, no citrus, no boozy, cozy vanilla, though it does soften after the first half hour. Somewhere underneath, I can sense a whisper of Kenzo Amour, as other reviewers have mentioned - I do love Amour and have a bottle in my collection I have enjoyed for years. This doesn't perform on my skin the way Amour does. I was so sure this was going to be a slam dunk and I've never been more glad I chose the sample vial over a full bottle blind buy.

Opens like TF Noir Pour Femme and dries like Kenzo Amour. I hate to write such a reductive review for a perfume I’ve started to wear quite often, but there is not much else to say. A good buy if you like vanilla, and you can find it pretty cheap.

Soft, fairly intimate scent, gentle vanilla, a little flowers, very soft blonde woods but no pencil shavings , similar sort of feel to Estée Lauder Sensuous or Lancome Tresor.
Gets stronger the longer you wear it

Saw the notes, decided to buy. Not disappointed.
Sophisticated, warm and powdery vanilla, not a sticky-trashy version of it. Noticeable by the crowd.
I wear it during winter but also on summer nights, I like how it lays on hot skin.

I used to wear it everyday at university and some people would get pissed and others would wait for me just to smell me😂it is pretty strong on me and I love both that one and of course Pink ginger 👌 these two are like my secret weapon when I want to get noticed the silage is amazing I literally fill a room and people know where I am in the building(I'm not going to be dramatic when I say the elevator smells like me for at least half an hour)

So I found a sample of this in my stash and I looked it up here, saw the notes and thought hmm ok seems pretty basic, with those opening pepper and spice notes leading into florals it looks like a less fruity Lancome Miracle. I sprayed it on and...instant bliss. This is one of those scents that is NOTHING like you expect. First, this is nowhere near as spicy as you’d expect and no sharpness whatsoever. Want opens with a light dusting of heliotrope and rose powder leading into the most incredible vanilla you can imagine, yes this is somewhat similar to Kenzo Amour and also reminds me a bit of Solstice Scents Rose Mallow Cream but the florals play a minor part in this one, that amazing vanilla is the star. I could wear this one every day without getting sick of it. I instantly hopped online and bought the biggest bottle I could find. THAT GOOD fantastic projection/ longevity as well, a dreamy fog of Want wafted around me all day long

This really is a lovely, grown up bourbon vanilla scent for those of us who don't like saccharine, sweet, vanillas. And although It does border on sweet, the woody notes come out to play, later on in the dry down, with subtle hints of rose and ginger coming through. But only ever so slightly.

I had hoped for more ginger and pink pepper in general, but both the Madagascar vanilla and vanilla absolute, keep this scent pretty linear and one dimensional, as that is a lot of vanilla in one scent. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing in itself; if you love vanilla.

In a way, Want reminds me of Le Parfum by Lalique but without the polarising bay note, some people find offensive. And it also reminds me of Eau de Missions by Le covenant, which I absolutely adore. Not to mention Chopards Casmir, which I find dated, cloying and heavy compared to this.

This is a GOR-GE-OUS vanilla fragrance! It is extremely warm and sensual to me, and is enough to satisfy my craving for Kenzo Amour. In fact....I think I prefer this to that.

It is such a rich, pure vanilla, with some beautiful woody notes to ground it. It's not an edible sweet sugary vanilla really, but more of the vanilla extract type of scent. Bit more serious and ladylike. I think I smell the sweetness from the rose and orange...maybe some of the ginger as well? Though I think the ginger here is slightly more subdued by the pink pepper, which contributes greatly to this as being a sexy scent. My bf really likes this and he's really picky with fragrance. I absolutely love this, so much so that I got the Pink/Ginger flanker of it immediately after I got this (will do a separate review on that, but simply put it's a more refreshing spin on Want).

This one is so rich and deep, that I kind of want to say it's balsamic even though that's not listed in the accords.
It also lasts a long time on the skin and clothes, I'd say about 5 hours of good silage before it starts to settle down. So beautifully blended and smells rich and luxurious!

I just love it (can you tell?). If you can find it, by all means do test it out :)

I agree with objections below, this is very much Roses dipped in icing sugar to me with vanilla and heliotrope mixed in, I get no wood at all surprisingly , or any of the other notes for that matter. It’s mellow and smooth and cozy, with moderate sillage and longevity, a good versatile one to wear which wouldn’t shout or offend anyone. Reading all the reviews below I find it so interesting how different it comes across on people’s skin. It’s very much a cold weather scent, casual and feminine- and I believe it has recently been discontinued .

If you're looking for a pretty good Kenzo Amour dupe try this! This is a little woodier than Amour and Amour is heavier on the smoky incense vibe but they really are very VERY similar vanilla bombs. This one grew on me big time! It's delightful and easy on the wallet.

strangely enough, mainly vanilla hater here, but i like this one, a lot...

I've really been enjoying my sample. It's hard for me to explain individual notes on this one, it feels like a fluffy vanilla cloud with a tiny bit of spice from the ginger and pepper. To my nose, it's very similar to Kenzo Amour but with a wood note added to the base. It feels like a sibling of Amour and What We Do In Paris Is Secret.

I'm not smelling any rose or citrus. It's fluffy vanilla with that fuzzy feeling that heliotrope can add. It's very sweet but the woods anchors it well. I think I'm gonna need a FB of this. I find scents like this to be very comforting and if you like the others I mentioned, I'm pretty sure you will like this.

Edit: I've been wearing this a lot. It continues to be a comforting, fuzzy blanket of vanilla, and I get at least 6-7 hours out of it. Most perfumes evaporate on me much quicker. Sillage is good, my husband can smell it when I enter the room. High praise for the fluffy cocoon.

This is a strange one... a rather inedible vanilla. There is so much woodiness that the vanilla is ethereal, to be smelled rather than tasted. In that way it reminds me somewhat of Nirvana Black. Yeah, it's like Nirvana Black had a musky powdery little vanilla wood baby with Glossier You.

Started off with a combination of baby powder, cotton candy, and caramel. Very gourmand.

Unfortunately on my skin, it starts having an underlying "play dough" kind of smell after only a few minutes. Not awful, but not exactly something I want to smell in a perfume. I didn't wash it off and waited, but by the time it finally faded, it still smelled like play dough.

Disappointing :(

This beauty has been discontinued and can now be found at discount stores only.It smells so good beautiful Roses on powdery vanilla sillage and longevity the best but I guess it did not sell well

This is quite a pleasant surprise, this smells pretty much IDENTICAL to Vivienne Westwoods Naughty Alice which is rose, violet, ylang ylang and musk, it is a dead ringer, and I actually think I prefer this!. The only small difference between them is that this has a vanilla essence base and not musk, the vanilla makes it a touch warmer but not alot and it is solely feminine, Naughty Alice is lovely, but to me it did have a hint of something minutely masculine, this one doesn't. I don't smell the pepper thankfully. If I hadn't of tried Naughty Alice before I would have thought like most people that this was a plain vanilla scent, but where it smells so similar to Naughty Alice i can make out the violet and rose without a doubt, it is just a very well blended perfume.

Overall this is a soft, dainty, feminine, vanilla essence, violet and rose scent, but it is very well blended, it isnt like the typical gourmand either, not even close, I don't do well with gourmands, this is mildly floral with a touch of vanilla which is a very true vanilla scent not artificial but not sickly sweet either. It isnt as mind blowing as the reviews would suggest but it also kinda is ... in the sense that there really aren't very many soft scents like these around these days and the price is literally amazing, on Amazon it's selling for a measly 25pound for a 100ml bottle, I'm not sure if that'll go up as time goes on but that is insanely cheap! It also lasts, it is quite close to the skin but nowhere near as bad as most of the dainty feminine perfumes like this that I've tried, it does actually project.

Don't be put off by the reviews that say that this is a crazy blasting scent, perfumes smell differently on everyone, to me this is a very delicate scent, there is nothing masculine about it or loud and there are no wierd notes that are off putting, to my nose anyway.

Overall a very nice scent, smells more expensive than it is and it's very pretty, I could see any age being able to wear this x

As a powder lover with a huge soft spot for vanilla, this one is right up my street. It reminds me of a mixture of some other fragrances, all of which I have...but I still think this one is 100% worth owning.

The first few minutes of wear are very reminiscent of Mancera Roses Vanille - a bombastic, spicy saffron-rose-vanilla dessert. As it dries down, it has more in common with Lalique Satine or Vivienne Westwood’s Naughty Alice - warm, powdery, woodsy vanilla. Further in to the dry down it becomes a cosy, vanilla pudding in the vein of Kenzo Amour.

I love all of those perfumes, so to experience 4-in-1 for such a low price? No brainer. This is going to be a winter favourite for me.

It's interesting how different our perception of the same perfume can be. And/or how differently it behaves on our skin.

This is definitely not a straight up vanilla on me!!!
What I smell from the bottle is pretty much how it smells on my skin too. There is a sharpness and spicyness there that lasts and lasts. That spicyness gets more subtle in time, but I sprayed it about 4 hours ago and there are still traces of it there. I actually get quite a bit of a citrus twist (the mandarine could just as well be lemon to my nose), and I really enjoy that. Heliotrope, pepper, citrus, rose and vanilla. Quite linear, just gets a bit more mellow with time

I see that Kenzo Amor has been mentioned a lot of times in the reviews. I do get the comparison, they have a few similarities, but the two are very different scents imo.

I really, really like this. And it's a lot more unique and quirky than I expected. A happy blind buy based on your reviews!

EDIT: this scent changes a lot on warm skin! I was cleaning the house like a maniac the other day and when I finally finished and sat down I was hot, Want smelled so differently than what it normally does on my cool skin, it smelled dominantly of heliotrope and vanilla! Will definitely try this during summer 😊

I know for a fact that this review might get deleted, but I just made a revelation today about this fragrance. It smells very very similar to my sample of Angelique Noire by Guerlain. The buttery vanilla scent is there only this sample is going a bit sour/off because there is very little left in my spray vial. However I still remember how this scent smelled a few months back and when I applied my sample of AN I was hit with a wave a familiarity like "I've smelled this recently". And it was this! I remember because when I tested this I was taken back by how buttery it was. Testing the two side by side I can tell that the Guerlain is made with better quality ingredients, the vanilla richer and creamier, tamed with calming smoothness of Angelica , while this is more powdery due to the rose, but their scent profile is the same. I would rather own the Angelique Noire of course, but I can afford a bottle of Want much easier so after my no-buy resolution has passed, I intend to pick up a bottle of this scent.

...And maybe a decant of Angelique wouldn't hurt!
PS: Want preforms better I got a solid 8 hours with moderate sillage. The Angelique Noire starts strong but dies down after a few hours, then fades completely. I’m starting to think I’ll be happy enough with just this one.

This was a blind buy. SWEET, strong vanilla-powder and not much more than that on my skin. Too heavy with just a small sprits so indeed not a summer scent in my opinion. I am the lucky owner of NR Poudree and I must admit it came to mind after 30 minutes or so. You could try this if you love Poudree but can´t afford it or buy it where you live. Same nose btw. Aurelien Guichard.

Strong powdery vanilla. Actually a little bit too strong and powdery for my taste, first time I sampled it it gave me a headache. Much better on my second trying, with just a couple of little dabs. To my nose it's very similar to Flower by Kenzo L'Elixir. The latter is less in your face, it's also a tad sweeter and fruitier so I prefer it to Want.

Wow, this is straight up sweet vanilla on my skin. Not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting.

this opens up with a lot of vanilla with some orange and pink pepper. after a few minutes i get some rose and some woods. ultimately it dries down to a vanilla-rose with some peppery woody notes. i like this, it's simple and uncomplicated, but a really nice scent, especially for spring.

It is very watery. There is fruity sweetness with a teeny bit of ginger spice. It has real promise. It's a real shame it is so weak. It retracts to a skin scent in minutes.
I think I can see a little resemblance with SD Vanori but Vanori is far superior. It has depth and really lasts. Worth every penny.

On me this is very creamy, rather sweet powdery carnation in the vein of Michael Germain Sexual, maybe less spicy and oriental. Beautiful, strong and long lasting scent, but not really for me.

I was let down by this perfume. I guess I thought this would be more creamy, where I find it to be a sharp, powdery scent with little vanilla. And I know I have smelled this scent before.......I feel like it smells like a drugstore perfume I had years ago, but I absolutely cannot come up with it! I will re-post if I do. Overall, I am SO GLAD I only purchased a sample. I almost blindly bought a full bottle on numerous occasions. This one isn't bad, it's just not what I like in vanilla perfumes. It reminds me of something similar to Cinema or Tangier Vanille...very sharp powder that overtakes the vanilla that may be present.

Wow, I didn't expect this one to be so good! On my skin it opens up with the most luscious rose I've ever smelled, which slowly fades into powdery heliotrope scent with a small pinch of sweet vanilla.

It is very soft skin scent, quite youthful but vintage vibe at the same time, if it makes any sense. Reminds me of a beautiful woman.

And it's quite cheap indeed, so definitely a good value for your money. Just the lid is quite ridiculous, in my opinion.

Well that's better than the pink sister. Probably the damascus rose upgrades it a little...nice perfume but you can smell it only if you are close. if you are looking for a perfume that creates an aura around you...it's not it.

It's a gorgeous and sensual perfume! At this moment my favourite! The notes are wonderful, but the formulation is really incredible. You wouldn't guess it from the notes selection, but this really is a beautiful masterpiece!

My instant reaction was “Wow! This smells just like Mancera Roses Vanille.” It even has the same strange "beer" vibe as MRV.
The rose opening is sharp and piercing, but it softens quickly. There is a soft woody undertone, but for the most part I just get rose and vanilla with a hint of beer from start to finish. Projection is moderate and longevity is 12 hours.
I was hoping for a bit more vanilla than rose. I believe someone even compared it to VS Vanilla Lace and I see some reviewers only smell powdery vanilla but, nope, not on me.
The rose is very, very strong, almost perfume-y. Nevertheless, once it settles, I really do like it.

The heliotrope makes this vanilla really soft and powdery. No ginger or rose detected thankfully, those notes are sometimes overpowering but here it blends nicely.

This is such a full and beautiful scent. Delicious vanilla syrup drenched rose petals, powdery clean violets, a touch of spice and rich woods. The bottle is extremely heavy and could be used as a lethal weapon in a pinch.

I've wanted this for so long. I recently got it. Well it is a huge vanilla. My first impression was Kenzo amour. It smells a lot like amour. But as I kept wearing it, I realized that it also differs in some aspects. Basically think thick milky vanilla of amour, add rose oil and violet, you get dsquared want. At first it was a like but the more I wear it, the more I love it. I get no ginger actually. Really smooth and comforting. It is quite long lasting and has an impressive sillage.

This smells like an expensiver and more potent version of Meow by Katy Perry. The only note i can smell is vanilla, but a very nice and natural one.
A safe blind buy for people who like sweet fragrances.

bit of a cold, grey crisis here, so getting my paws on every inexpensive and “fun” sweet concoction I can, Want being something I just discovered, as I don’t like anything else that DSquared does. She Wood has a gorgeous bottle, love contemporary design using wood, can’t stand the scent.

Want opens with a blast of The Body Shop’s Ananya, which is a spicy, vanilla-rose, and calms to an honestly pretty darn good vanilla, although I like my Le Couvant des Mihimes better for affordable vanilla to spray with abandon. It’s a solid like, but not something I’d miss if something happened to the huge (HUGE) billiard-ball-topped bottle. It would’ve been better to buy the smallest size, because the top for the 100ml bottle is enormous, but I’ve got it in my head that only a few bucks more, and more product for the money is always better...yeah, retailers and marketing people see me coming a mile away. I know that bottle tops will get a bit bigger the bigger the bottle is, but let me tell you, there just isn’t an aesthetically pleasing place to put this, although perhaps with the heiniousities that are my Adam Levine and Purple Silences bottles. The ivory shot-put, the purple-Frisbee-hockey puck, and the microphone...

I only got pepper and vanilla when I tested this, I tested it along with many other fragrances the same day and this just didn't stand out to me. Quite a boring scent in my opinion, very weak and forgettable, projection was non-existent for me too. Not bad, just it doesn't smell of anything in particular, it has no mystery, quirkiness, nor freshness- it has nothing that makes it come alive for me. It was a lackluster scent.

I adore this, it smells like vanilla essence! Girly and sweet.

Argh, this is totally what I like. Vanillery, slightly woodsy, a little powdery notes and a whiff of rose. Perfect winter fragrance, which I don't mind wearing in warm weather too. It's not overpowering, not too childish smelling, kind of reminds me of a sweet innocent young lady who shyly expects the compliments of the men. It's a big YES for me and the sillage is good too.

Basically,this is a warm,winter scent. WANT is a spiced,warm glass of milk before bed. Now and then,I get a whiff of rose. The brown tint of the liquid screams 'vanilla'.
This is one heavy bottle.

There are lots of perfumes out there which are inspired by the idea of vanilla sugary candy, lollipop, bonbon and so on, yet I think there are good reasons to like want.
Want starts with a blast of creamy sweet powdery notes with a touch of rose. It doesn't remind me of prada candy, V&R bonbon, lancome hypnose or any other popular sweet vanilla perfume. It's naughty and playful with a feminine nature. I think ginger and pink pepper are essential elements to milden sweetness.
Getting more floral, it also gets sweeter with the pass of time and then reaches a dry down which smells almost like pure praline note to me.
Totally I'm a fan of Dsquared2 perfumes. My favorite being first version of she wood, this one would be my second choice.
My complain is that it stays pretty close to skin and doesn't have a huge long lasting power. Also, even though I get the concept of the bottle, I'm not a fan of that gigantic sphere on top of it. So, the bottle could have been more flattering.

so... if you love a rich vanilla perfume this is it. strong rich vanilla, that stays on you all day long and night and maybe the other day... it is lovely i like it, not love, but sure a big like~

If I had to compare this perfume to other ones, they would be L'Instant de Guerlain, somewhere inbetween the edp and edt version or Kenzo Amour but it isn't a dupe at all.
I prefer Want Pink Ginger because it has this pink note in it, but Want is actually good. It lasts very long on me, more than 24 hours! Its sillage is moderate. The fragrance is mainly about vanilla, vanilla with flowers, an oud-like vanilla. I don't think it's much close to Kenzo's "Madagascar". So sweet, honey-like, darker vanilla in the end, the fragrance is much lighter in its head and heart notes though. A lovely oriental-floral, if you like vanilla.
I don't like this girl in the ad. She looks vulgar. And I do like the brand, I have never been disappointed by any of their scents and I know all female ones.

Be careful! This lollipop will sting your tongue.

It's a warm spicy vanilla heliotrope gourmand scent.Too much vanilla for my taste. Gave me a little bit headache the first time that I tested it.
Not bad or unpleasant. Just not my cup of tea.

After a traumatic week, this splurge blind-buy was much welcome! I needed a new sniff, pick-me up. :) Based on all the good reviews and my love of gourmands, I knew this would be a win.

And it is.

But... it's awfully generic/ordinary. I wasn't blown away. It IS a nice powdery vanilla, average sillage/potency... some slight woods and citrus. The perfume as a whole is 75% ROSE.

At first spritz, this reminded me of Fancy by Jessica Simpson. And then it kinda dries to be lovely, yet generic, and soft. It's still a great soft yummy perfume, but didn't knock my socks off. ;)

I also get Kenzo Amour after the Fancy-ness wears off.

I wore recently (winter) and I love it! I get a spicy cookie smell... like a molasses cookie!

I do adore this, it's a dreamy, very powdery vanilla that exudes calmness and coziness, it is a stunning perfume. I can see me wearing this lounging on my bed when i'm in my pj's after a soak in the bath as it does make you feel so very cozy.

It's a very real vanilla, like smelling vanilla essence as you pour it into cake batter, and the heliotrope is beautiful, such a soft smelling flower. I don't detect any ginger or rose and the neroli is quite faint, but the woods shine through, giving it such depth and warmth.

I wasn't too sure about the longevity when I first wore it, it seemed quite weak, but for some reason it lasts a lot longer now and smells heavier too! All round, a lovely perfume, perfect for this time of year.

As a gourmand lover, I had to try also this! And I'm glad I did! Well, in a few words, Dsquared Want is a powdery vanilla fragrance. When I first spray I smell the most wonderful natural vanilla smell ever!After a few minutes I also detect something powdery,velvety,airy. That should be the heliotrope. At the drydown phase of the fragrance I smell a bit of woods but still powdery-vanillary.
So,this is a must-smell fragrance for us who love sweet scents. You won't be dissapointed. Very nice for everyday wear,even at office. It's not sickening sweet. The woods and powdery notes balance out the sweetness. This will be my everyday go-to scent for fall. Very nice longevity and satisfying sillage.Highly recommend it! Love the bottle!

Fell completely for the bottle, so bought it unsniffed and just hoped for the best. Usually I don't like ginger so I was very excited to see how this would turn out. But OMG it is amazing! Sweet, sticky, caramelly fluff marshmallow and vanilla, but toned down with a rosey floral (can't really detect exactely which) which keep it from being overly sweet and sticky, and keeps it more classy and mature. It reminds me a lot of MOR Marshmallow, which has the same sticky marshmallow note, that are kept under control by a beautiful rose. They both have a Middle Eastern sweet candy vibe going on. Especially in very hot and humid weather it smells like Turkish Delight.

The bottle is a story on its own - AMAZING ! The thick gold band, and huge jawbreaker-ball on top as a lid. Very cute and somehow retro - reminds me of something on a 50's vanity before prom. Very art deco. (It is so much prettier in real life!)

I don't like the add. I think it is supposed to be sexy, but I think it is just plain vulgar. Out of the thousands of ways it could have been done, the final one is this ?? I have no idea how the ended up with nasty, sweaty pictures of a model posing overly sexy with a lollipop ..

Besides the add, the scent and bottle is amazing. Lasts forever, great projection. A new favorite :)

I know I've already posted my comment about want,but now that I'm in this page,I can't pass it without saying again that how much I love want...it is the best natural smelling vanilla,powdery,soft,ice creamy but not cold
I'm almost easy going about perfumes and it's really easy to please me,but want it the only perfume among more than a 100 perfumes I own that I always want it,I'm always eager to smell it,even sniffing it's cool cap makes me satisfied,but as much as I sniff I feel I can't get enough of it,I'm addicted to want
The scent is familiar but I'm sure I've never smelled any fragrance like this,it doesn't smell like a perfume,yet I find it that much delicious that I want to lick my wrist when I apply it,it's amazingly delicious without smelling like a piece of cake..it's cozy in cold temp and cooling in heat..this is a very different vanilla scent
In my previous review I said Longevity is good and sillage is moderate,now I've find out that Longevity is great,and sillage is not cloying but noticeable for everyone even not that close to you..just two sprays is enough to relax all day in this delicious creamy heaven
There is just one big problem,I prefer to drink it or bath in it,more than wearing it
❤❤❤❤❤

After several uses I've seen that definitely vanilla plays a great role in the drying). Vanilla linked to a slight Woody touch. For me this perfume makes the olfactory journey from Balsamic and spicy, creamy pink with a finishing touch of vanilla very subtly Woody.

Lots of sticky vanilla. I think it's suitable only for ultimate vanilla lovers. For me it's far too much. Also heavy woody notes are not my favorite.

I can not agree more! It is impossible to go unnoticed with her! I got it today and no more spray I was in shock! As powerful opening! FEMININITY and the attraction come together here... Asking for another booking in 3, 2, 1!

I think I need it : )

The bottle looks way expensive in real than in the ad, i loooove the bottle, i can buy it just by looking at it. And it is so heavy, makes it so expensive looking.
And the scent, the scent is soft vanilla not cloying like Britney Fantasy which makes me hate vanilla. But this one is a Love from me, very elegant sweet smelling vanilla.

As soon as I tested want,I wanted it.it was love at first sniff and as time passes I love it more.it reminds me a delicious home made vanilla ice cream
It has everything I love in a perfume,creamy delicious spicy vanilla,soft powdered with a fresh flowery undertone and a touch of woods in dry down
It's not a generic vanilla scent,also not cloying and supersweet,there are lovely florals here,adding freshness and powders to the combination.there are also spices here,preventing want from turning to a childish gourmand,it's young but not girly.it's sensual,delicious and naughty
Best season for it is autumn, but is wearable all around the year.its also really long-lasting with moderate spillage.I also love it's unique bottle with it's big round cap..my only regret is buying 1.7 Oz bottle.no doubt i'm going to need another bottle

I sprayed this at the airport and it was a delicious deep gourmand vanilla. I didn't test it for longer so cab only say for the initial phase.

The first thought that came in mind when I tried this was "I want it".Dsquared anticipated that. The vanilla is strong with this one. But it doesn't smell generic and it's not overpowering. Smooth creamy vanilla, not harsh and cheap. Kind of reminds me that cooking vanilla my mother used when she baked cakes. Warm and sweet. After some time with this on, I start to get the rose. Makes this scent even more beautiful and feminine.

Lasting power is okay, sillage is quite big though. So be careful not to wear too much of this. You will smell like a moving cake bakery.

I love it in the spring, and it might be suited for the summer. Since I feel optimistic and happy wearing it,so I do think it will suit well the summer mood.Not sure if it will withstand the heat though.

This is my second review just wanted to say that I'm enjoying even more weraing Want now that it's springtime, it is so warm and sweet but never cloying.
There's lots of vanilla here but roses keep it from becoming sticky.Can't get enough of this stuff

Delicious oriental flowery scent with a lot of vanilla. At first I only smelled the vanilla, but when it dried down, it became a beautiful blended scent, with mandarin, damascus rose, pink pepper, heliotrope, neroli and still a lot of vanilla. I don't smell the violetwood. It is a very sweet oriental flowery vanilla scent, but not too sweet, like Casmir by Chopard.

My beloved Birmane is almost finished and unfortunately that scent got discontinued. So now I am searching for the ideal replacement scent, so I am checking out other oriental flowery vanilla scents. Casmir turned out way too sweet, Siam Flamboyant by ID perfumes is also delicious, but not as chic, elegant and sophisticated as Birmane. Want is really delicious, but it is not as mysterious as Birmane. So I haven't found a winner yet.

I also smelled Miss Dior Le Parfum and Shalimar by Guerlain in the store, so those two scents are two other scents that I am going to test, in my search for my favourite oriental flowery vanilla scent.

Longevity is less than twelve hours. I am only interested in scents with more longevity, from early in the morning, till late at night, so this scent is not my replacement for Birmane.

Initial scent is vanilla. Then settles into oud. Goes super bad after few hours. Smells chemical after contact hand with water.

Feminine and soft, beautiful rose, heliotrope and vanilla.
If you like powdery-vanilla scents, this is amazing.

I am not sure I WANT it, but for sure it's a new and nice child in the vanillic familly. I am between this and Paco Rabanne's Olympea. It's a pretty scent, vanillic, conforming, airy, feminine because of the soft woods and it takes time to shine.

This is it's magic. It takes time to evolve on your skin and it's sillage is good, although it stays closer to the skin. Lasting power isn't that good but fans of DSQ2 will love it. I can't find the oriental character they say it has, but for sure there is a light sour synthetic vanillic tone and a heavy loudless spiciness if that makes sense, only in the beginning. When I first sprayed I couldn't smell of anything, after a few minutes I finally got it.

For me it could be a safe perfume for work as well as for a night out. Definitely a younger crowds pleaser without a generic taste for sickly sweet perfumes. All in all, elegant but playful. Like when we suck a lollipop, it doesn't have the greatest fullness of taste but we keep sucking it. Keep it simple, a nice "lollipop" with mute strenght and heavenly addicting dry down. Can't wait to give it a second chance.

Today i've tried the sample,tomorrow i'm buying the 100ml bottle.That simple!

Edit*** i got it,i got it,oh and i love it!First the bottle is wonderfull,that nude colour of the ball form cap is amazing,never seen such a big end cap haha,is so heavy but also different.and the perfume,oh my the scent,is absolutely delicious,warm and sweet and just a bit of floral mixed with the main vanilla note.I would wear it all day long being winter,but will def give it a try in summer just to see if it goes ok with the heat.Great longevity ,the sillage i should wait a bit to say cause i told mom i got my new perfume and even though she was in front of me she reached out to smell my neck...it was just a puff but even so,couldn't quite get why she cannot sense it.will edit that soon too.Anyway get it guys,well worths it!

When i first tried it out i thought it was kind of different than other popular new perfumes. It smelled somehow minty, what i liked a lot.
Second try today (this time longer wear), the impression was quite disappointing. Minty note is gone very fast and vanilla plays the main role. Spoiler!
It remainds me a lot of Jil by Jil Sander. I'd almost say they're twins

Love at first sniff! Not new, but it is a perfect feminine fragrance. Balanced. Not gourmand, but sweet, and fluffy vanilla. Not girlie but very pretty. Not edible but it fulfills your heart and soul. Not too sophisticated in a complicated way, but has fresh, kind,young and brave aura.
If you like Lacoste pour femme, or liked Trussardi Inside you will like this one.
It is sooooo good!!!!
After a little time it became better and better!!! I can detect some rose, the clean, spicy, modern rose!!! Ohh! And the last surprise is the drydown! Like the cheerful goldengirl Max Mara gingery light, sweet gleaming. Wonderful!!! Everything in one fragrance I have appreciated in my - some sadly discontinued- favorit parfumes.

Very, very good! Spicy and sweet perfume, perfect for Christmas time. I sense vanilla very strongly, there's also some rose, ginger and wood.
I think it's oriental smelling and very nice.
It's so edible smelling, I think of tea with spices and ginger, when I'm smelling it.
A great possible Christmas gift.

I wouldn't say the main note is vanilla here, and I don't consider it a gourmand: it seems to me like a cross between Tresor Lancome and Flowers Kenzo, of course with an extra twist of vanilla and heliotrope. So for me it's a rose-vanilla scent, very powdery, romantic and somehow nostalgic. I love it, it's simply so "me" :)

Want is so interesting !!! It is kind of a balsamic spicy vanilla, soft , powdery with a real nice edge!! Warm, easy to wear, in the cooler weather it is enveloping, I don't find it super sweet, just lovely!! It isn't very strong, doesn't make a huge statement, yet it is attractive .! I usually don't enjoy powdery scents, but this is done in a different way, the powdery edge is a bit citrusy and spicy ..nice.
The bottle has a retro look, cool!!

OMG! I love it already! After one day of wearing I'm in love! We'll see if it will last the day after, but I think it will be a "yes". What's so special here? Nothing new really, but for once it was well made.
Exactly as for Dior J'adore L'absolu: what's new? Nothing new but well made. At least to my nose. I already had Hermes 24 Faubourg EdT (and a vague residue of Charlie Red) on one wrist, a classy scent and not so dry, but it immediately became dry compared to Want. So I tried to remove 24 F. and enjoy Want, not on the same spot, of course. Oh, well, I gave myself a good dose from the weird tester...
Let's talk about the bottle: a garden ball lamp that called me from 3 meters afar while scanning the shelves. From a close distance it looked more like a portable Moon on a golden stand. The flashy cap is heavyyy!
I'm not a fan of Dsquared2 and didn't like their previous fragrances. Way too mainstream and harsh.
I thought: "Ok, let's give this one a try, just for reference"
I was hooked and immediately reminded of something else. It smelled familiar. For me it's a similar scent with Dior J'adore L'absolu, both for the rose and the vanilla absolute, even if Want is more charged on vanilla.
I get the similarities with YSL Cinema (which I dislike for some notes that turned bad on me), but I also get a hint of old Poison in the purple bottle, the EdT from '80s.
And, believe it or not, I smell a vague hint of Impulse Spice Girls deospray.
I sprayed too much, but I was walking in the mall like in heaven.
I'm quite known for being a candy-hater and generally not a lover of gourmands, but I enjoy semi-gourmand when matched with luscious florals.
Now, Want is on the borderline. You can definetely smell flowers and especially the rose, but vanilla is strong and a bit overpowering.
I wish it was more oriental floral, but if a flaw exists here is the usual one: vanilla used as a drydown without good woods to tame "her". Those "woody notes" tell me nothing.
All in all Want is a vanillic gourmand (forget about the grand orientals of the past in 2015), but I believe that I can tell one vanilla from another. I love the absolute and literally loathe all those candy factory vanillas around that make all wearers smell as if they just rolled among the shelves of a 1 euro candy shop.
In my nose there is a fine line dividing the good and the bad vanillas. Want falls in the good side for a whim.
It's longlasting for sure, sillage is average.
The ad is so ugly. I'm glad I didn't see it in advance.

Edit: after a whole day it went into the morning after directly on skin. Yes, it is longlasting, even if the part that lasts so long is pure vanilla in a synthetic way, quite similar to Monotheme Vanilla Blossom, which I like as a happy mood lifting scent.

Sorry, I made a mistake. I wrote that Wanr smells similar to Dior J'adore L'absolu for its vanilla absolute, but I really meant Dior J'adore L'Or. Too many flankers twisted my brain.

So strange. I do not get the vanilla on my skin and in no way it remind me of cinema. I get some spicy rosey notes. When I smelled it I was sure that it contains insence, but it seems that is not the case.So for me, this is a sensual rose scent

Definitely vanilla sugar. That's pretty much all I get. You know that vanilla powder you use for cooking. It's nice, not very complex. I can smell Kenzo Amour in this.

Finally, we got a winner from Dsquared2. Want is by far the superior fragrance in the line of the brand, and that's the contribution of Aurelien Guichard.
The Want smells like a powdery version of YSL Cinema. The fact that YSL discontinued its the most beautiful gourmand Cinema was a big disaapointment. Now we have a decent replacement with the same level of quality and longevity.
Dsquared Want is a vanilla perfume mixed with sparkling note of sweet citruses. Guicharded added some roses to this composition, making it powdery in the way of Kenzo Amour/Hypnotic Poison. The result is really captivating and chic. If you like sweet gourmands, you must try Dsquared2 Want!

The bottle is a masterpiece.

Just received Want from the Italian Dsquared site! This is beyond gorgeous! It's very sweet roses and vanilla galore but also sophisticated and very feminine. It smells different from all recent fragrance realeses it's so beautiful.
Sillage is outstanding longevity I don't know just yet but it is projecting beautifully.
As I'm typing this scent reminds me of Roses Vanille by Mancera it has the same richness.
well done Dsquared!

I was lucky enough to get several testers of this. I've been giving Want a shot for several days now and I quite like it. I'm rather surprised that it is considered an oriental floral as to my nose it mostly smells of soft, powdery vanilla. I consider this a 'transition' fragrance; perfect for the mediocre and sometimes rainy weather of spring and autumn. It's too powdery and comforting for summer, and not loud enough for winter.

Citrus? No, unless you count the slight citrus vibe you get when you put your nose right next to your skin within the first hour of spraying it. The citrus doesn't project at all.
Vannila? Very much so, but not the loud, gourmandy vanilla that we usually smell in todays perfumes. Instead, it smells rather powdery and clean. It's really nicely blended with the woodsy and floral notes.
Unlike lilymorena I didn't get any coffee or tobacco from this. Be cautious about spraying this on clothes, as it left yellow stains on my white shirt.

The sillage is soft to moderate. The lasting power really surprised me. I could still smell it after 10 hours. Overall I would describe this as a comfort scent or one for confident women who don't feel the need to flaunt their confidence by walking around snapping their fingers and making sassy remarks. This is quiet confidence, a relaxed state of mind that everything is under control.

I am testing it right now. Fresh, sweet floral with a bit smoke undertone, maybe the woodsy notes. It smells a bit like Lolita Lempicka Edp but not so dark, citrus is hier more prominent (but not loud or longlasting). Nice fragance for office, sits close to skin. So far nice but nothing really special.

Update: the drydown became a real surprise. I smell a bit coffie and Tobacco. Now I know where the vibe comes from, Just Cavalli from Cavalli (soft coffie and Tobacco), but much sweeter. Good longevity.

i want this " want" just for the bottle itself:-)
