Via Verri Vintage Limited Edition

Wow~this is GORGEOUS!!! I'm currently on a rose bender so have been buying or trying every version that I can get my hands on it seems. Well fate stepped in and gave me a kiss. A darling swap buddy sent me this from The Netherlands and now I'm indebted to her for life. This is pure unadulterated womanly rose veiled by soft, tantalizing spices. The spices never distract from the rose. They enhance her and allow her to become more.....carnal. The spices never entirely go away either. It's as if they are gently holding up these plush, velvety, rose petals that are just starting to wilt. As if her beauty was so irreplaceable that they were called on to extend it just a litle bit longer. I've never smelled anything quite like this one and I cherish my bottle. Those who do not walk comfortably under the visage of woman need not apply. This rose is experianced in the art of love. She is dripping w/a sensuality that will seduce for hours and hours. Sillage is perfect. Very present w/out being too much. Longevity on me is a good 8+ hours. This one is the form in the corner of a dark dinner house/lounge. As you get closer to examine what that dark corner holds you are stunned at the voluptuous beauty that reveals herself to you as you approach. Why have I never seen her before you wonder........

At the beginning enters the bergamot + pure cardamom. Then long open the note of wood as in Majda Bekkali fait un reve, clean , light recent , adds the iris. Afterwards the rose with the jasmine posts freshness and subtlety , cleanness is sparkled , and musk. By the all scent is very very light and subtle. It will not tire. The elegant scent on an everyday basis. We smell the hand ...I feel nothing except the cleanness soapy skin, I move I scent the light flashy feminine scent. <3

An original and unusual as all the other Etro scents. Refreshing, sweet and spicy at the same time. I'm not a citrus lover, but mandarins there are on their place, not nasty and they are framing the spicy beginning. Then comes sweet jasmine with nutmeg. I don't feel woody notes to my disappointment, but may be it's my skin chemistry. I don't feel any rose here, even a hint of a rose. Are there different versions of it?

This is an absolutely lovely fragrance. It smells rich and floral, like you were bathing in hundreds of roses. On top of that it lasts long and you can mix it up with other Etro Fragrances, try it with viccolo fiori.

Still batting a 1000. I sampled another Etro; a nice, light spring floral and I like it. I’m not sure I picked up rose because the spices took over—maybe cardamon?—but it’s quite enjoyable. A little citrus also detected in the opening. Drydown is all about Jasmine, musk and a little pepper. Performance for an ETA is better than average. My scent does not say “vintage limited edition”. My sample dauber is from the Etro Discovery EDT pack of five, so I’m not sure this is the same scent as the one listed above. I won’t go out of my way to acquire Via Verri because I have a large collection, but I wouldn’t turn down a good deal either.
