Venezia Pastello

A Peach-Skin/'YOUR SKIN' scent AGLOW the morning after a night involving Peach Schnapps. This beauty opens with a burst of soft, powdery peach liqueur and dries down to honey and tea. In the air I get a well blended vibe of powdery sweet peach that is difficult to pick out individual notes, and on the skin I get honey, tea & pencil shavings. I don't find this to resemble Venezia 2011 Laura Biagiotti. Comparison to Exclamation Coty: These are very similar, but Venezia Pastello has superior performance and dries down a little more syrupy. Comparison to Body by Burberry EDP: Signed by Michel Almairac, these are very similar, although Body EDP opens with a peach that is faintly chypre, and Venezia Pastello opens more powdery peach liqueur. They dry down extremely similar with honey, tea and pencil shavings. Both are well above average performance-wise. Comparison to Tresor Lancome: Although Venezia Pastello is more powdery, these are quite similar to my nose, and I get a lingering whiff of the 'hug-me accord' made famous by perfumer Sophia Grojsman (Tresor Lancome, Exclamation Coty, Volupte Oscar de la Renta) which shows itself in many of her compositions, Tresor Lancome included. Overall: Well above average performance and a beautiful scent profile. Enjoy!

Perfection in scent... Venezia Pastello is my favourite fragrance ever. It is my husband's favourite perfume on me, too. And it was my wedding fragrance! The opening is soft, fresh, yet a tad sweet, fruity and aquatic - with plenty of peach, plum and blackcurrant, but I cannot smell any of the red fruits at all. The divine mix of fruits is still prominent in the heart note, at which point the vanillic shandes of heliotrope come into play. On my skin, rose and jasmin are a no-show. Vanilla and sandalwood are the key notes in the cuddly drydown, but the aquatic fruity notes from the top are still there. The overall feeling I get from Venezia Pastello is "warm, tropical lagoon". The fragrance is modern, feminine and sexy and can be worn anytime, anywhere and to any occasion. It fits every mood and season. As it has been discontinued ages ago, I now use Venezia Pastello as an occasion fragrance. And until this very day the fragrance still turns heads and draws compliments.

I am sad beyond words and so dissapointed with my body chemistry... I wanted to be able to wear Venezia Pastello so much... It is one of the freshest, most comforting and light perfumes from the 90s I've ever tried!When I spray it on paper it's like a warmer version of Chloe with extra sweet peach notes that make the scent so ethereal. But the moment I spray it on my skin, the usual rose disaster strikes again. I held on to it for so long before being able to part with it, but no matter how much I love it I cannot wear it... At least my consolation is that the original Venezia smells as it should on me, and I'm sticking to that only I'm afraid. I'm jealous of all of you guys who can wear Pastello gracefully:( Edit: I found the solution! I ordered the EDP formulation (still can be found onlline but it's not cheap). It is richer than the EDT and somehow works better with my body chemistry! So pleased I can finally wear this masterpiece:)

Oh, how I ADORE this one. Makes me feel warm, loved. Kept sniffing my wrist - fantastic dry down. I came by a half full bottle of this yesterday (lucky me!), and the lasting power was AMAZING. I put some on my wrist in the morning, and in the evening after my bath, I could still smell it. It's a shame that this wonderful fragrance is discontinued. Would really have loved to try it back in the day, when it was still fresh. However, I've heard that the EDP version of this can be a migraine trigger, which was a concern for me, but the EDT caused me no problems. So, if you worry about it being a migraine trigger, try to get your hands on a EDT first.

Ich hatte mal eine Duftprobe und sie gefiel mir sehr gut. Als ich dann das EDT kaufen wollte, gab es das in Deutschland leider nicht mehr. Das bedauere ich bis heute. I had times a smell sample and her pleased me very well. When I wanted to then buy EDT, there was not in Germany the unfortunately no more. I regret that this very day.
