La Fenice Pour Femme
by The Merchant of Venice
La Fenice Pour Femme is a soft, creamy floral-gourmand that balances sweet vanilla, delicate almond blossom, and gentle tuberose with a powdery heliotrope base. It unfolds as a warm, elegant, and subtly sweet scent that feels like a lightweight, feminine cloud of vanilla and white flowers. The mandarin orange opening is fresh and juicy, adding brightness without leaning into citrus novelty. The fragrance lingers close to the skin with moderate sillage—nostalgic rather than bold—making it ideal for quiet moments, evening wear, or spring and autumn days. It feels harmonious and well-blended, with a modern take on sweet floral themes that hovers between gourmand and romantic floral. The tuberose is smooth and not overpowering, while the tonka bean and cedar add depth and grounding. It avoids the heavy sweetness of comparable products like Euphoria or Signature for Her, offering something more refined and airy.
