Les Princesses de Venise has a rather intense top note..
Attached to my sample is a card with the sentence ... "This positive perfume will fill you with laughter in moments to be shared with others." But shortly after applying "Les Princesses...", I want to be completely alone for a while. The princesses greet you with a hefty dose of indolic jasmine that smells quite fecal. "This could be interesting," I think to myself, but fortunately, this unpleasant impression fades over time. From the very beginning, a raspberry note is present, and although I have a strong aversion to raspberry in fragrances, I actually like it here!
Once the jasmine calms down, the personality of "Les Princesses..." changes 180 degrees. Initially, it is loud, animalistic, and somewhat old-fashioned, but after a few minutes, the scent becomes sparkling, fruity-fresh, and summery. The floral components initially almost overwhelm you with their density, but "Les Princesses de Venise" develops into a truly transparent fruit cocktail.
While the raspberry is immediately identifiable at the beginning, it gradually blends better with the flowers and the other fruits. Actually, I don't want to dissect the scent too much.. With a lot of effort, I can even perceive the pistachio (or at least I think I do), but listing everything individually does not do it justice. All in all, this is a playful, refreshing summer fragrance that doesn't hit you with a punch of fructose.
"Young vivacious women, sparkle with happiness!"... and there isn't really much more to say. ;)
