Vilhelm Parfumerie Dear Polly is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Jérôme Epinette. Dear Polly opens with Bergamot and Apple, settles into a heart of Tea, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, and Ambergris. Vilhelm Parfumerie's Dear Polly carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is a divisive brew, with devotees singing its praises as a beautifully balanced tea scent, while others recoil from what they perceive as acrid smokiness. Try before you buy, it's definitely skin chemistry dependent.

Its moderate sillage and versatility mean it works for most casual and date settings, but while some find it clean enough for the office, others detect a musky or smoky quality that might be too distracting for work. Its unique profile and potential for varied skin chemistry reactions make it less suitable for formal events or intense sport.

About

Dear Polly opens with a zesty, crisp burst of bergamot and green apple, bright and invigorating. This soon settles into the heart of the fragrance: a realistic, robust black tea, which can lean fresh or surprisingly smoky depending on your skin. The base grounds it with earthy oakmoss, a hint of clean musk, and a subtle warmth from ambergris, creating a complex and evolving aroma that's never quite the same twice.
