Venice Seduction

Opening Venice Seduction opens up with a slight licorice vibe, but quickly settles into something more palatable to my nose. I hate licorice, so it turned me off at first, so I am glad it changed so quickly. You get some very sweet dried fruits, which the only one I can detect with certainty is apricot. The cardamom is very sweet and somewhat spicy. This sweetness persists throughout the entire life of the fragrance. Dry Down The fragrance morphs into something more masculine in this phase. The saffron is a bit sweet with a leathery nuance to it, as most saffron has. It adds a masculine layer on what would be a very sweet fragrance. The tobacco also adds that layer to it by bringing a sweet, but somewhat pungent aura to it. The patchouli is dry and woody, even though it says it's the leaves. Maybe that is what smells like that when most fragrances say patchouli and have that dry vibe to them? I am not sure. The tuberose comes off as a bit dark and creamy, adding a gourmandish facet to it. Performance Venice Seduction is a decent performer. I get around 9 hours with 2 hours of projection. A nice sillage bubble lasts for about 5 hours, but you can still get random whiffs of it after that. It's very sweet, so it's easy to go anosmic to this one. It's like BR540...it comes and goes, but you know it's still there. Read full reviews on my blog: musingsofafraghead.blogspot.com/
