The Diana Vreeland line has launched their seventh fragrance, Daringly Different. Daringly Different is described as an 'alluring iris oud'.
Daringly Different, created by Pascal Gaurin, is a tribute to Mrs. Vreeland's passion for the Middle East and its light, colors, and scents. Having vacationed frequently in Tunisia and Morocco, she brought the kaftan to the west and launched it to an international crowd through the pages of Vogue.
This unique composition balances the luxurious floral elegance of iris with the magnetism of oud for a new take on a classic. The scent opens with crisp accents of violet before developing into a sophisticated heart of iris and lily. The deep smoky facets of the Oud accord are complemented with addictive nuances of Turkish rose, tonka and leathery notes to create a hypnotic fragrance experience.
Diana Vreeland Daringly Different is available now at Neiman Marcus, in 50 ($185) or 100 ($250) ml Eau de Parfum.

Question: Were any of the other DV scents even somewhat Different?
I have not smelled a single one of them I don’t think — or if I did (if they were at NM last I was there I would have), I’ve already forgotten, which amounts to the same thing.
I sniffed a bunch of them at Nordies the other day and yup, they are all “safely similar”.
oops, I meant Neiman’s.
Thanks. I think that’s mostly what I’ve heard so far.
Oh, sad to hear of no true Daring Difference – Iris and Oud sounds interesting to me ( I am not totall Oud’d out, I guess) and the bottle would look splendid on my perfume table…
Agree – gorgeous bottle.
Perhaps the name was supposed to be ironic 😮
You know, was DV ever ironic?
Probably not, but I’m trying to be charitable!
(In the interest of stimulating greater innovation in the industry…)
