Venus de Milo

To me this doesn't smell at all like empire victor (or Nebras ) despite a previous review .. it has vanilla and musk but thats the only similarity, this is very floral with some bright fruity opening with a musky milky vanilla base. It's a nice fragrance, the dry down reminds me a bit of her confession but this one isn't so stuffy whereas her confession is way too stuffy for me.. But it has that kind of powdery vanilla baby-head kind of smell when it dries in the background but it's still balanced out by the fruits and caramel. Someone else compared this a bit to gharam and now that I think about it I can see the comparison there as well it's probably why I like both as they're similar. Not a dupe or anything but this fragrance is hard to compare to anything.. I don't smell anything similar to nebras but then again everybody picks out different notes in perfumes doesn't mean that they're wrong. For example blanche bete is a very polarizing perfume and there is something in here that has notes that are shared with blanche bete probably whatever milk and musky notes they have.. to me that really stands out but to others it might just be not noticeable. Okay update: and I even like this fragrance a lot more now.. I've worn it few times I decided to get a full bottle.. there's something that I can't stop smelling on my wrist, my husband is obsessed with it on me he says it's somehow giving off pheromones lol. He can smell it a few feet away even though it doesn't seem strong to me. I think that's BS but hey if he loves it that's a bonus! This is definitely not a safe blind by though I would get a sample

This is so so pretty I’d describe as a soft peaceful Summer Gourmand Think: Bridgerton in a white cotton dress embroidered with cornflower, sitting on a swing under the branches of a cooling tree reading a book, eating pear drops and ice cream soda whilst enjoying a summer breeze’ Very feminine. Sweet, creamy, pure sensual. Smells refined and valuable. Calming I kinda get a vanilla /fruit jam in the dry down. It’s almost so familiar scent like I’ve always owned it but also new and different than anything else I own Delicious I love it The box and the bottle are Gorgeous worth displaying. Instantly purchasing a back up bottle. I detect NO similarity to empire Victor. If anything the pear and vanilla in Venus De Milo put me in mind of Gharam Lattafa but minus the aniseed vibe I personally get from Gharam. It’s sweeter and softer than Gharam to my nose also.

My God this is gorgeous 🤦... I rarely react like this to any feminine scent, and I’ve smelled A LOT, this is different. Those fruits and white flowers made it typically playful and feminine, but then comes in the milk, almost dry and chalky but in such a good way, gave it character, and I was like "hello?!". It’s not a random girl you walked past on the street, she’s the girl you crossed the street to reach. She’s not just pretty, she got personality on her, this calm confidence. If the word 'Pretty' had a scent, it would be this. Hands down the best feminine scent I’ve smelled yet and it’s by Fragrance World FFS, for only 40$. It’s not too sweet, not too gourmand, not too loud, isn’t trying too much. It’s just perfect lol.

This is an original. It is not a dupe of Baciami. It does not smell JUST LIKE the other Middle Eastern Baciami dupes. This actually smells more similar to KILIAN Kissing than Baciami, but still not a dupe of Kissing either. I love this fragrance. It is by far one of the best Middle Eastern fragrances for me (coming from someone who tends to love Indie/Niche more than Middle Easterns and Designer). This fragrance stands on it's own, is a little more unique. It's a creamy floral-gourmand with some brightness from the fruits. If you adore fragrances like Kissing and Baciami and are open to trying something else in the same category then give this a try. Many times I will reach for this one over those other 2, but I love all 3.

The bottle is a work of art and so is the fragrance. I love the soft florals, the touch of creaminess. It’s ethereal. The middle notes are what I really smell in this perfume - the white florals are the star, with a splash of milk supporting them. Comparing this to Her Confession, this is lighter, more floral, and it’s not super lactonic but only slightly creamy. They’re very different to me (like cousins) and I’m glad I have both. Edit: just tried this again after a couple weeks and was surprised to find it’s way more fruity now. I didn’t really get any fruit before and now they’re pretty strong in the opening but do tone down again after a few minutes while still remaining present.
