Venezia

Venezia is a bright, aromatic green fougere with a zesty and uplifting opening, featuring green notes, juniper berries, lavender, bergamot, lemon, and tarragon. It carries a fresh, herbal, and slightly soapy quality reminiscent of a damp pine forest on a warm spring day. The scent evolves into a smooth, earthy, and slightly sweet base with tonka bean and basil, giving it a rich, balanced character that feels classic yet modern. Longevity is moderate to very strong, with some users reporting up to 12 hours, while one noted sillage lasts a full 100 minutes with good projection. Its profile is strongly masculine in character but carries enough lightness and freshness to feel approachable, with some users finding it unisex due to its clean, green nature. It bears a strong resemblance to vintage Loewe Esencia Pour Homme and Bel Ami Vetiver, particularly in the dry-down, yet many agree it surpasses expectations for its price. The fragrance is most versatile during spring and late day hours, making it ideal for summer wear and formal or casual daywear. It feels like an authentic 80s-style fougere, not overly synthetic, with depth and a natural-feeling progression. Overall, it delivers exceptional value, standing out among budget fragrances with its quality construction and performance.
