A terrible start but a wonderful ending
So this fragrance progression was absolutely unforeseeable with Venezia (1992) Eau de Toilette. The start simply created a certain "wash-off compulsion" but I kept my nerve and persevered. So I was rewarded in the end. Of course, the age of my miniature could also have caused this terrible start. Be that as it may, the longevity is strong at around 8 to 10 hours. The sillage doesn't seem to be wrong either.
The top note...yes...ugh...At first it is citric with bergamot and quite green. This is followed by a strange peach-mango aroma with dried plums and osmanthus. Doesn't sound so bad? But somehow it still is. Because now a really gamy aroma of half-fermented and half-rotten blackcurrants emerges. I have a bad feeling but I fight my way through it. But now it gets better. The heart note offers a beautiful combination of flowers, bourbon vanilla and, above all, cinnamon. Here I recognize rose geranium, ylang-ylang, violet, iris, rose water and jasmine blossom. This sea of flowers creates a fine soapiness with fabric softener, but cinnamon and amber provide an equally beautiful oriental note. The base is perfect in and of itself. It smells lovely, sweet and vanilla-like like benzoin. It also smells creamy, cinnamony and reminiscent of almond milk thanks to tonka beans, but also balsamic and woody thanks to cedar and sandalwood. Musk and civet also add a touch of animalism.
Quite a lot going on, isn't it? In the end, it's too wild for me. That's why this miniature can be passed on to lovers.
