Like a comforting shawl
Now I'm finally getting around to sharing my thoughts and feelings about this wonderful fragrance.
On my first and so far only visit to Venice in spring 2023, I was naturally drawn to "The Merchant of Venice". Well prepared by Parfumo, I asked to be allowed to test selected fragrances, but unfortunately none of them really convinced me. But I really didn't want to leave without a fragrance. So I asked the somewhat brittle saleswoman: "Do you have anything else here that I didn't ask for, but that you think would suit me well?"
What happened next was truly magical; it was as if she had looked deep into my soul. The detailed words she found struck me deeply and described my personality really well. But when I smelled it, I was confused. I couldn't find myself in the scent of "Suave Petals" and didn't have a fragrance that even came close to it. "It's just not me. It's not me," I thought. I took a sample with me and sniffed it again and again for the remaining days. I didn't want to be influenced by the lady and trust my first instinct, so I finally decided against the fragrance and opted for "Andalusia Soul". Once I got home, I regretted the purchase relatively quickly. By sniffing it every day, I had closely associated Suave Petals with the wonderful experiences in my dream city.
Suave Petals smells like Venice to me. Or Venice after Suave Petals. It depends.
For me, it is enveloping and comforting. Not like a cozy blanket, but more like a luxurious (soft pink) shawl that an elegant Italian woman gently wraps around your shoulders. It doesn't warm you physically, but emotionally. At the same time, it provides lightness and makes me smile. The fragrance is delicately feminine, fruity-floral with a moderate sweetness and is perfect for spring/summer. I can't smell the fragrance notes individually (most likely the nectarine blossom); for me, everything is perfectly interwoven. I cannot detect patchouli. Of course, I have heard that it is very similar to "For Her" by Narciso Rodrigez and I can confirm this. However, "For Her" has a note that bothers me like a discordant note in music.
Whenever I want to travel to Venice in my mind, I pull out the sample and dream myself away. At some point it will move in here with me. That much is certain. I'd love to buy it from the magical Venetian woman, but I don't think I can hold out that long.
