Rum-Tobacco-Dream Combo
Veleno Doré Inspired by a myth in which a victim is attacked by the black king snake as prey, comes into contact with its extraordinary poison, and transforms into gold. This fragrance enchants with the fruity aroma of pipe tobacco, soaked in rum and mixed with vanilla. The distinctive effect of the perfume, which matures with a woody blend of patchouli, enriched with nutmeg and chili pepper, unfolds in the notes of vanilla, amber, and black cherry with almonds.
Hot, sensual, and deadly.
I find the scent has an irresistible effect; it is breathtakingly sexy.
With its unique radiance and strong impact, it draws others into its spell. The fragrance exudes a certain arrogance, which suits it and gives it a sexiness.

The main role is played by tobacco, mixed with the warm effect of rum and cherry, which intensifies the fire of the perfume. A blend that fascinates me, in my opinion. The scent also has a mysterious side with a perfect combination of tobacco and rum, while fruits, nutmeg, amber, patchouli, and vanilla round off the fragrance. It has a creamy and soft texture and is velvety smooth, a type of perfume that has a wonderful progression from start to finish. It has an impressive beauty that gives the wearer a mystical aura.

It is a perfume that can be worn in autumn and winter and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though it is more effective during special occasions. It is completely unisex and suitable for both men and women.
The fragrance has good longevity and sillage, though it is not easily affordable in terms of price. Nevertheless, the scent is like a poem that warms the heart.
I had sought a decant from a dear Parfumo, and after the first spray, it fascinated me. A bottle will indeed find its way to me, though the price does deter me a bit (around €400 for 50 ml), or I will opt for a 15 ml decant.

Since it is a special scent, I would wear it for special occasions.

Flow Gently, Sweet Afton
Veleno Doré came to me as a sample from an extremely generous donor; otherwise, I would never have tried the scent, as it doesn't quite fit my usual preferences. However, I would have missed out on this 'golden poison' (a hybrid Italian-French naming) which offers a highly interesting olfactory experience, even though the mixture will not make it onto my wish list.

To me, we primarily have a black cherry scent here. This black cherry dominates all phases of the fragrance. We shouldn't imagine extremely sour pickled sour cherries that make us scrunch our faces, but rather a beautifully dark, round, fruity, juicy, and yes, somewhat sour aroma. I am usually anything but a fan of fruity notes in fragrances, but here it is quite pleasing.

The dominant cherry keeps the (by the way, also very solid and impressively high-quality) sometimes quite dark and mysterious scent from venturing too much into the provocative or dangerously repulsive territory. It grounds the fragrance, so to speak: as soon as one has too deep associations with the scent, the image of a delicious cherry pie or a happily munching child with smeared cheeks comes to mind.

The second note that is quite dominant for me, especially in a prominent way during the first 1-2 hours, is tobacco. I distinctly perceive the marked hay-like, rich, bright, slightly moist scent of Virginia tobacco, primarily that of fresh tobacco when opening a pack of unfiltered cigarettes, but sometimes also a burnt, smoky note (which could also come from the rum).

Years ago, when I still smoked, I loved the English unfiltered Virginias of the "Sweet Afton" brand very much. It was exactly that scent that came to mind with Veleno Doré. By the way, the packaging of these cigarettes (both the tin boxes and the wide cardboard packs), back then still without the health-related horror images and warnings that are certainly justified, can still be googled; they were as much a work of art as the tobacco products themselves: they featured a portrait of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, a lovely river landscape, and a few lines from one of Burns' poems about the River Afton: "Flow gently, sweet Afton among thy green braes, flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise".

Black cherry-Virginia cigarette, that creates a highly original and certainly rare foundation for this fragrance, at least for its first hours.

The fragrance pyramid depicted here is largely plausible to me, although I do not perceive any chili spiciness and assume that this note has only been used in very small doses for rounding. However, it does not show a temporal fragrance progression; as already mentioned, the heart tobacco and the base cherry hit my nose from the very first second. I read "top," "heart," and "base" more like the soprano, alto, and bass voices of this fragrance.

Veleno Doré belongs to the category of oscillating fragrances for me. It is not linear, but there is also no clear fragrance development in one distinct direction. It is a bit like in a puzzle game; an impression that seemed to have disappeared suddenly reappears. Here is an excerpt from my progression notes:

2nd hour: Stabilization and homogenization. Ambery deep freshness. Benzoin? Suddenly a bitter and somewhat dirty chocolate note that wasn't there before. Patchouli sweetness. Tobacco is now less.

3rd hour: Cherry Coke. Velvety. Vanilla!!! Patchouli!

4th hour: Again very dark, smoky!!!

5th hour: Vanilla. Very round, very smooth, very soft. Upon retracing, tobacco is again very clear.

Now the fragrance has been with me for eight hours and, although it has become quite close to the skin, it still holds on bravely. For about two hours now, it has reminded me enormously of the wonderful base of one of my favorite fragrances, "Opium pour Homme EdT," which, although according to the pyramid does not have the makings of a twin, also contains strong dark fruit (there: black currant) and vanilla.

Conclusion: An extremely original, thoroughly appealing, quite extravagant, moderately decadent (also in the old sense of the word, namely "smoky"), autumn-winter fragrance that begins with a black cherry-Virginia tobacco duet and ultimately evokes spicy-oriental opium reminiscences. Well lasting. More suitable for the evening than for the office. More feminine, but also wearable for men.

The scent bursts with vibrant cherry from the start, you may feel tobacco leaves here. Then it calms down to a warm tobacco & amber

The cherry note is too strong and overwhelming in the opening. It then settles down into a nice creamy and "ambery" tobacco perfume.

Spicy, appetizing cherry dessert with a hint of booziness and delicate bittersweet chocolate-vanilla decoration. Not too sweet, not too rich.

So much that my heart desires
Amber, patchouli
Tobacco, nutmeg
Yet the scent doesn't fully reach me
The fruits feel too overripe
What a shame

Dipping chocolate in cherry vanilla mousse. Meanwhile, casually sipping a glass of rum. Really well done. The test is worth it. Thanks, Lucy!

Cherry compote with spices and a good splash of rum on chocolate-vanilla patch. It has a pleasant sweetness. Delicious stuff.
