What might it mean about the twenty-first century idea of self that we are so increasingly captivated by the villanelle? Based in communal dance rather than individual song, spiralling back repeatedly to the same refrains, often moving from obsession to acceptance through the simple movements of repetition, perhaps the villanelle teaches us something about sharing and returning, integrating, and learning to let go: good lessons for our time. - Annie Finch, Villanelles by Everyman's Library

A poem, a song, a fragrance, a character… the earthy, velvety, verdant floral scent blends a troubled pastoral theme with an obsessive dark image of the subject: bergamot-petitgrain, marjoram, lavender, clary sage, vetiver, frankincense, labdanum.

Villanelle Autumn Lore is a diaphanous green, somewhat tannic cologne, built around the same theme as its forerunner Allegorical Woods: a soft mossy blanket and lush greenery, but more subdued, translucent, elusive and melancholic. - Naama

Isn’t it interesting how we’re so drawn to the villanelle? Annie Finch says it’s like a communal dance, with a rhythm that loops back on itself, slowly turning obsession into acceptance. I kinda feel like this perfume gives that same vibe. Villanelle by @kamila.aubre feels like a botanical journey starting bright with bergamot and petitgrain, softened by marjoram, lavender, and sage. There’s this earthy, velvety facet, like it’s blending a wild, troubled nature with something deeper and darker. I pick up a lot of marjoram (it has that spicy, slightly citrusy freshness) and lavender (well, you all know lavender). It’s one of those fragrances that feels classic, with a bit of a Fougère vibe (if you’re into that subtle lavender-mossy kind of thing). A study in grace and balance, really. For me, it’s soothing and grounding. Perfect for those moments when you need to relax and let go, much like the villanelle itself. - Victoria

I'd been eyeing this one for a while and finally decided to blindly purchase it, based on the fragrance notes in the description. Wow was I in for a treat! My go-to's are woodsy, earthy, grassy scents and that's exactly what this is. The scent evokes a feeling that (for me) is like that thin line between summer and fall, golden hour and blue hour. And walks in the forest when it feels as if every branch, twig, and patch of grass has come alive. Also, the scent lasts a while, so a little goes a long way. New fan, new favorite. This definitely won't be my last purchase! - Euletha

Five Stars, but with a tear in the corner of my eye ... So sorry that exdP is going to be withdrawn. Villanelle exdP was the best fragrance I ever had in my life! - Flora

Excellent customer service and prompt delivery. Love the perfume Villanelle. - Melissa

Nothing but compliments!!! Thanks will be ordering more! - Calvin

This is my first purchase and I love Villanelle!! I’m obsessed with this scent! Thank you! - Marissa

I adored the Midwinter Verse cologne so much that I purchased a flacon in the sales to prolong my experience of this edition of Villanelle. How to describe this unique scent? It is soft and green, with a milky sweetness...almost faintly cocoa at times...such a soft, poignant perfume. Beautiful. - Emilia

There are days when I need to feel…more. Stronger, more confident, inspired, creative, beautiful, mysterious. Days when I need to tackle the deluge that life throws at me head on. When this happens I turn to my extensive collection of kamila.aubre botanical perfumes. I select the perfect one to suit my mood or emotions that particular day to help get me through, and they work like magic. A small spritz or dab, an inhale, an exhale, then a calmness washes over me. I truly believe there is no other perfumer on the planet that is more intuitive with addressing emotion through aroma than Kamila. - Vivienne

Very unique and very wearable. Not overwhelming. - Dianna

Shipping was way faster than I expected. The scent was absolutely wonderful and I’ll definitely be buying from this shop again 💗 - Timber

Very unique scent and lovely packaging. Thanks so much! - Nicole

These botanical perfumes became an essential item of me ! In this size they are most suitable for travelling as well, they can be easily added unlike bigger perfume bottles 🌿 - Anna

Beautiful smelling natural perfume, loved the packaging too so cute and a sample was included with my order thank you so much! - Ally

Delivery time was incredibly quick (probably cause I lived in the country they’re based). The perfume smells A.M.A.Z.I.N.G and the samples make me wanna get more of their perfumes. Kamilla Aubre is amazing!! - Rose

First of all, the packaging of this product is impeccable. It’s a decorative piece in itself. The Villanelle scent is magical - I love it. It’s a bit more woody/leather-y in my opinion and very different from what I usually wear, but I absolutely love it. The Villanelle smells delightful! It smells like something you want to wear on a rainy summer night, or early fall morning. It’s strong yet sensual - love it. Bought a bigger bottle!- Sophia

[Villanelle Dark Summer Sea is] an eloquent fougère, dramatic and maritime, bearing Bay-Rum features (sweet carnation-like allspice) and the omen of a nearing storm. Lovers of both genres would find here an expressive, expertly blended olfactory work.  - Naama

The item was as described, was well-packed, and arrived quickly. - Chris

Ordering process very easy and helpful. Came thoughtfully wrapped. My 11y old whom I bought it for loves the smell. I'm not much of a perfume expert but I like it too. - Andrew

Die Bestellung kam zeitnah und der Duft vom Villanelle Parfum ist einfach grandios und einzigartig, also sehr zu empfehlen. - Kerstin

Villanelle Is my favourite perfume so far, I love the bed of aromatic lavender it lets me fade into, it’s perfect at night to sink into its relaxing natural darkness and drift off  - @wearescentient

My favourite perfume of yours is Villanelle. My reason is one I've not read by others, so it might just be specific to me: it reminds me of freshly baked cinnamon rolls.  

Also would like to mention that I found you while looking for vegan perfumes and what you're doing is absolutely amazing! - Dori

I absolutely love Villanelle. It reminds me of the dusky scent my grandmother used to wear. She was tough, elegant and kind. I wear it in a crystal vial around my neck and it makes me feel like she is still with me.- Nora

My favourite fragrance is Villanelle! It has such gorgeous deep notes, it's the only perfume I'll buy. - Izzy

My favourite perfume is the Villanelle. I cherish this perfume as I have received so many compliments on it and always reach for it as my signature scent as I love it’s organic and stunning smell! - Arianna

Perhaps I'm atypical of a woman of a certain age, but shortly after becoming a fan of 'Killing Eve', I read that there was an ACTUAL scent called 'Villanelle'. The first time I ordered it, I seriously could not believe that it wasn't based on the intriguing BBC heroine, because it seemed to have all the notes that Villanelle herself might enjoy, and adorn herself with. It was ... almost indescribable. It was a cunning mix of floral and verdant notes, quite earthy too ... but the best thing about it was the depth. It almost plunges into your skin, and reveals different notes as it develops, the longer you wear it. It never pales, and always smells incredible. Just like Villanelle! So since I discovered it some years ago now, it's never out of my perfume 'wardrobe'. I hope it's NEVER discontinued! Thank you! - Sarah, Longtime lover of Villanelle

I ordered a selection of samples last year because I was intrigued by the profile of Villanelle, but wanted to give a range of fragrances a chance (like I always do with a new fragrance house). I fell in love with Villanelle, of course, and have wanted to get a bottle ever since. Straight out of the bottle, the verdant aromatics are almost medicinal, not unlike unstoppering a tincture. On my skin, the bergamot, vetiver, and frankincense warm and sweeten in such a unique way. It sounds weird, but it's kind of like one of the original Ricolas, earthy but sweet. Even though the sample is small, I have savoured it and wear it sparingly, even though I want to reach for it in my regular rotation. - Elizabeth

My favorite fragrance is Villanelle - I love the unique notes. It's unlike any other fragrance I've smelled before. It is one of a kind and beautiful :) - Nicole

My favourite fragrance is Villanelle, it is a wonderful earthy scent but it is rich with power and feminine energy. More specifically, most of these scents are associated with relieving anxiety and stress, or clearing the mind to focus, which is what I am associating with power in clarity. The violet, lavender and blackcurrant softens the earthy smell of vetiver, marjoram, and sage, to create a more feminine scent. whilst the frankincense is associated with this royalty and power, yet also used in pregnancy to clear the mind; this unifies the fragrance making it smell complete and  harmonious.  

I love this brand so much. How you attach poetry to scents brings me so much joy and gives more depth to the scents to create. - Constance

My favourite Kamila Aubre scent is Villanelle - I was first drawn in by the name, then the description of late spring days featuring it’s dark scent notes and obscure earthly treasures  turned obsessively in my mind. 

I think of it always, and look forward to the day I’ll have a gorgeous Kamila Aubre bottle to display on my bedroom table. - With love from Montreal, Kathryne

My love story with Villanelle began in a rather prosaic way: first I fell in love with the character in the show. And then searched for it when Villanelle gave a bottle of perfume to Eve. That year I ordered Villanelle for my birthday.

It was more than what I expected. It's a story in the scent. It was a different perfume experience for me, because I never knew a scent can have so many layers. It changes similarly to how a story would develope in a book.

I love the subtlety of it, too. It's all mine, no heavy trails. Sometimes I applied it before going to bed as well, just to feel that air of sophistication around me again. So I just want to thank you, Kamila, for sharing your gift, and creating beautiful fragrances. In Villanelle I found my personality in a scent. - Olena

I bought the Villanelle perfume after reading the descriptions of it on Kamila Aubrey‘s website. It sounded so heavenly, I just could not get it out of my mind, and I of course had to buy it. It has in no way disappointed! This is the most relaxing, beautiful scent i've ever worn, and i am more than delighted with my purchase! - Nanna

Excellent customer service, communication and shipment. Thank you. - Jacqueline

El aroma del bosque vivo, cambiante. La primera vez se siente tan especial tentadora. Gracias feliz Navidad - Elena

I kind of blind ordered from Kamila, but going with my experience of perfumes and smells I already knew I love or would love to try. The descriptions did not disappoint! Every ingredient is so well composed and elegantly formulated, it is a smell so distinct, one can easily stand out and it’s also slightly addictive to be honest. Even layering with other nature-perfumes I own makes sense and adds the *special*. The small flask goes in my handbag and so usually I start the day with a softer perfume and then layer this one on during the day. My delivery also had a little test flask of one of Kamila’s other creations with it! Thank you so much for your amazing art! I’d order again! - Sabrina

The scent is very pleasant but also commanding. I ordered from the US, and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the parcel arrived! - Janie

Smells like walking through the woods in the fall. i’m obsessed, it melts into the skin so beautifully and lasts all day. - Kassandra

I ADORE this scent. I can not put my love for this scent into words. SIDENOTE (that may be of interest to the immunocompromised and hypersensitive future customers): A couple of years ago, I developed significant immunological issues due to a medical procedure. As a result, the scents that I had previously used began to trigger my immune system in such a way, that I could no longer use any of the products containing the scents (soaps, skin creams etc.) without developing serious (hypersensitivity and/allergy-) symptoms. This perfume not only smells AMAZING, but triggers no symptoms (for me) at all. Furthermore, the scent is SO CALMING and I sleep like a baby after having applied some at night time. Kamila Aubre, please don't change the ingredients of this scent, and I wow to remain a returning customer forever. - Kind regards, Rachel

Really beautiful, worth the wait (long way to Aus). Will be back to try others. Thank you. - Ella

All good things to say about my order, no problems at all, i am in love with my villanelle perfume! It is a perfume that I didn’t know I needed! Lasts all day and is just magical. Thank you! - Connor

Villanelle is an absolutely beautiful scent! I'm beyond happy with my purchase, and was so pleased to receive it so quickly! I will definitely be purchasing again. - Lizzie

The perfume is great and so sophisticated, I love it! - Irina

Lovely mysterious scent! Will buy it again and other scents! - Martha

You are a genius perfumer, I love all your work. really looking forward to the return of 1 flavor. - Emily

When is edition 01 back? I purchased it two years ago and my bottle is empty, please bring it back! It is amazingly green! - Letitia

2nd Edition is perfect for winter, hope it will last for a while, I hope to get a 2nd bottle. Love the warmth and the colour, we are so used to clear fragrances but natural aromas are seen so well in the colour of a fragrance. Be careful, though, with white clothes and such perfumes may stain them. I have the two editions and hope to get my hands on the new 3rd one, I see a beautiful connection in the seasonality of Villanelle, it stays true to its nature, green, but changes based on a season. Truly amazing! - Ethan

It’s a pity I missed the limited edition bottles 1-2 years ago, I hope to get one of those one day. The perfume is more feminine than when I tested it 2 years ago which I really like. - Ella

Amazing fragrance, mossy, rich, so evocative. - Jane

Thank you so much for creating this beautiful art 🤍 The scent really touches my soul - Elaheh

Villanelle is my signature scent, so happy it comes as a zero waste perfume! - Theresa

This is my 3rd bottle, now as a flacon, I am thinking of having a 100ml refill as I am so addicted to the perfume! - Hope

I ordered a full size bottle without any sampling as I hoped the description will be true to reality and It was worth it. The scent is mesmerising and so green. - Lily

I use Villanelle every day and am never bored with it! Such a complex art. Flacons give a nostalgic touch and look absolutely beautiful on my night table. - Angela

Love the perfume! - Sandy
