Hmm, somehow I was hoping for more here
Violet Venom is quite a nice and beautiful fragrance to begin with.
Unfortunately, I don't really get any of the top notes listed. It actually starts directly with the heart notes, which I think is a bit of a shame. It also seems a bit trivial at times. So unfortunately it doesn't quite convince me.

As already mentioned, the fragrance starts with the heart notes.
Osmanthus and sandalwood clearly set the pace here.
The amber from the base also pushes forward well.
Very slight hints of orange blossom and possibly even a little neroli from the top note can be detected, but only subtly.

Over time, the fragrance develops minimal fruity notes.
It becomes increasingly creamy and warm. The amber now radiates properly here and the creamy sandalwood continues right through to the end.
Finally, some vanilla is also added.

The fragrance is definitely unisex wearable and has a solid performance. On my skin, the fragrance lasts about 7-8 hours.
The sillage is also completely fine.

All in all, not bad.
But I expected much more.

When dreams burst...
I don't even know if I've mentioned anywhere that I'm a terribly visual type of person. When I learn something, I rarely learn content, I copy the page in my memory and then read it off in my mind, is that actually called cheating!!! ;)

I digress...
Why am I emphasizing the visuals here? Because I was actually really excited when I saw the Violet Venom bottle. Not only is Venom my favorite anti-hero of the Marvel world, no, violet is one of my favorite colors and I've already seen the bottle front and center in my glass display case.
But, what can I say, unfortunately nothing will come of it!
Unfortunately, the new Gritti fragrance did not convince me when I started spraying it on.
I would like to mention now that I don't find the texture overly malignant in principle, but for me it leans very much towards the feminine side. Here I could imagine the fragrance on one or the other lady, at the appropriate time of year away from the heat.

Right from the start, the purple poison is fruity-sweet, characterized by a powdery cloud.
The fragrance exudes little to no freshness, the bergamot barely opens.
I don't find neroli / orange blossom disturbing here either, normally these are notes that I like less and can quickly provoke a touch of "old-fashionedness".
Here, this is perfectly integrated and pleasant, the floral is in the foreground.
Probably also enhanced by cashmeran.
I search in vain for white tea here, but I am happy for the noses that discover it.

I attribute the sweetish, in parts perhaps slightly creamy, but mainly rather powdery basic structure, which runs from beginning to end, to the combination of sandalwood and amber. Osmanthus adds a fruity, slightly apricot-like touch. I miss the freshness here, the kick...

I can well imagine the fragrance on a woman with an elegant evening outfit in cooler temperatures in the fall and am also interested in how it would work there.
On me and for men, at least in my opinion, I don't like it very much.

Persistence quite potent, has been on my skin for a good 8 hours now, the silage is noticeable but still moderate.
The name and bottle are a 10, but in the end it's not enough to win by far.
