Dialogue With Venus

Dialogue With Venus is a rich, creamy vanilla gourmand with a distinctly powdery and lactonic character. The opening features sweet, smooth peach and vanilla abounded with white musk and ylang-ylang, creating a soft, indulgent aura reminiscent of warm milk, marshmallows, or vanilla yogurt. The sea water note is subtle and not marine in the traditional sense—it functions more as a slightly salty, skin-like moisture that complements the creamy musk and woody sandalwood base. Over time, the fragrance deepens into a thick, dense vanilla with a distinct lactonic quality, which some describe as reminiscent of spoiled or overripe milk, though others find it playful and satisfying. The texture is oily and smooth, with a soft powdery drydown that lingers without strong projection. It feels intentionally flamboyant and feminine, embracing a campy, self-aware sensuality rather than demure grace. Though it performs best in daytime and spring/summer, the fragrance's scent profile may be overwhelming for some due to its intensity and moody lactonic shift. Many associate it with the comfort of childhood sweets, while others find its tactile, gourmand nature exhausting or cloying.
