Here you can find EVERYTHING! Um...

...but where are the comments/statements I like to orientate myself by?
I see. No wonder... According to research at Terre del Garda, it is a small company on Lake Garda, which sells its products only in 3 shops, its own internet shop and a few partner hotels.
So today, while it is quite windy outside (as chance would have it), I would like to get something out of it with "stolen" text, if that is ok...

According to the company, the scents, colours and sensations of Lake Garda have given rise to the four fragrance lines of Terre del Garda, named after the 4 winds of the lake: Ora, Perler, Vinessa and Bali.
As for Vinessa, it says:
"Mighty, powerful waves announce the advent of Vinessa, the wind with the name coming from Venice, which comes from the east when the bora comes up over the Adriatic Sea or when the weather is disturbed. Its strong and constant gust of wind enchants the lake in the seasons of transition."

And there's this story on top of it:
Legend has it that long ago a noblewoman of Lake Garda met a Venetian perfumer. The result was a love that violated the conventions of the time, and which has been trying to find its way back into the waters of Lake Garda every evening ever since.
The fishermen tell that in the evening, when the ora stops blowing and the pearl has not yet risen, a wonderful essence can be felt for a few moments.
According to Terre del Garda, this romantic story gave rise to the desire to tell the beauty, desires and memories of Lake Garda in a perfume.

Now to the perfume, but first of all thanks again to JR87, who had enclosed this manufacturer sample! My evaluation was even less good back then. The scent was too herbaceous at first sight and was put aside. Now I have tested it again and lo and behold, it impresses me this time.

The fragrance results in a fresh herbaceous-light and fruity ethereal-woody symphony, everything is interwoven... I think I smell something, it floats on again...
This will certainly not help anyone, but I can imagine that Vinessa is perceived quite differently anyway, depending on which scent dominates with whom and how skilled the person is.
I, for example, hardly smell the top notes I love so much, or only late in the day. Nevertheless, there is a subtle sweetness and fruitiness underneath all the time. I think I can most easily recognize the base notes that make up the ethereal and spicy note.

The scent reminds me a lot of ZEN and Chance EdP (I had it on the other arm during a test) and I like it more and more. Nonsense, it's just beautiful.

Otherwise: m.M.n. unisex. Durability slightly above average. Fine sillage, difficult to judge.
Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about the material of the bottle, I would certainly like it with its clear, simple form and color
I'm glad you read all the way here. LG & stays healthy ...
