Luxe de Venise

Luxe de Venise is a green-marine fragrance with a nice blend of fruit and floral notes. I especially smell the apricot and the rose, but they’re still well balanced. As the title implies, it really does give me thoughts of a gondola or ferry ride. Not sailing on the open ocean, but still a nice aquatic feel. This is an excellent fragrance for Summer. Something about it made me immediately think of sunshine. I also like that it doesn’t play up the usual warm weather cliches of coconut and/or pineapple. Nice sillage without being too overpowering. You could even wear this to work.

For me this is a very linear plumeria smell. Pleasant, fresh and light. I'm surprised by the negative reviews since, at least on my skin, its pretty inoffensive. Definitely a youthful, casual summer frag. Not overpowering or cloying, I would feel pretty confident gifting this to someone who is new to fragrance or enjoys freshies.

Such a floral scent. The most prominent on my skin are the rose and the raspberry which I love. This was one of the first perfumes I ever wore consistently. Such a pretty floral scent, but could read a bit flat to some noses

This one reminds me of Elizabeth Arden Beauty. Not the same, but similar style. Maybe a little fruitier, a little sweeter. It's nice. Lasts about 4 hours on me, but my skin is dry and eats up fragrance.

Says it smells of sea water. Maybe it smells like the water in Venice. I guess I don't want to smell like Venice. I rarely dislike a fragrance, but this fragrance makes me think of people I don't like. It's actually putting me in a bad mood. Apricots and salt water? And then rose? Why? Just test it before you buy it.

I find this fragrance quite unpleasant and cheap smelling, and am quite disappointed that I can't detect any of the ingredients in it. I've tried it off my skin and on it - it's just not for me at all, sadly.

Nothing groundbreaking, nothing offensive, but also nothing to rave about. But there is something really pretty about it. Raspberry & rose initially, with a tiny hint of grapefruit & the green notes. Not overly sweet. Has a youthful body spray quality (and the longevity thereof), rather than that of an edp. The middle is much better, more of a spiced tea (apricots sometimes do that for me), and still very light. I also smell lychee, but it’s not in the notes. Dry down is the same, but sweetened, more mature, and a close, almost skin scent

This is a good throw it on daily for any occasion perfume. She's not going to offend anyone by being too strong, or being too naughty. The longevity of the top and middle notes aren't great, but they are more complex and last longer than a body spray. I was still getting faint hints of amber 9 hours later, which I love. If you want a break from heavier or intense scents but still want to smell good, this is a good choice. I bought a full bottle on a clearance sale and am not disappointed.

A very sharp citrusy fragrance, no depth, just annoys. The whole 3.3 oz set was on sale for $25 on Macy's website and now I know why. The travel spray came leaky so I didn't even have to open or spray it. Save your $$, I'm returning it for sure.
