Venezia

One of the best bargain knockoff fragrances I ever blind brought... being a fougere lover I decided to give this a go due to its low price (10$) and high praise ....well it smells better then I expected and the best part is the sillage and longevity this thing sprays on light at first but give it 5 minutes to develop and it's outstanding it also has a decent breakdown of notes unlike other fragrances in this price range which tend to be linear and fade out in 2 hours...Venezia sticks to the skin for a good 12 hours and has a good 6 feet of projection it can easily be over sprayed by how light it starts.... I will try to describe it best I can i have never smelled Bel Ami Vetiver or Esencia Loewe so i can't compare to my nose it smells like Polo Green minus the leather and tobacco mixed with Basile Uomo minus the dark herbaceousness.. unlike the latter the added lemon and juniper lighten up the top notes the dark forest pine tarragon lavender start opening up in the middle while the tonka adds a dirt like aromatic quality to the base little hints of basil bergamot and herbs pop through out the breakdown of notes...there you have it a light classy fresh bright green fougere as other reviewers have stated it's ''zesty'' like walking into a damp Pine forest full of herbs and lemon trees on a warm spring day...it's pretty much discontinued in the united states Im already ordering a second bottle...get it while you can this fragrance hit's well above it's price point ... it's fresh, rich and bright...this is no old man smell or typical synthetic bargain bin knockoff ...it's a very high quality remix of classic green fougere's from the past...the bottle pretty much sums up what your gonna get bright zesty forest green ...9 out of 10

Smells almost like my 20 year old sample bottle of Loewe Esencia Pour Homme. It is extremely close. Same complexity and depth. I was waiting and biding my time to buy the vintage Loewe and could not spend $150-200. The current version is definitely not what I want. I read a review of this and it was correct. Venezia is a ringer for vintage Esencia. It is very green and a little leathery, but always pleasant and easy to enjoy. It is a bit old school, but not going to choke anyone out or make anyone hate you. It has the best of the 80's and 90's masculine perfumery carried on here. Huge value here. It lasts on my skin and smells great for 16 hours. I always smell it when I wake up the next day. I highly recommend this wonderful scent.

There must have been very few bottles of this in the USA. They quietly went out of stock. I don't think there are enough of us in this little network to have bought more than a few hundred bottles at most. We should be on the lookout for its return to the American market, and spread the word if/when it returns. I would guess New Brands' business model will precipitate them making more and selling it at decent prices. Their M/O is to sell as much as possible at a good price. And I am quite certain this has been their biggest seller ever..

Good grief love at first sniff but oh my that drydown is perfect for me.Its a old man school frag but so smooth. If this lasts im ordering more and will be going to my number 1 frag.If you like old school frags just grab this its a no brainer and i only plaid £7.00 Edit : in my top frags now its so good.Got a backup bottle,im unsure how they managed to pull this off at such a low price.Smells amazing and lasts so long,my best ever purchase by a mile.

This fragrance is a true gem and a bargain at just $11-$13 for a 100ml bottle. Some may assume that Venezia is a cheap-smelling fragrance because of its low price, but in reality, it is a smooth, rich, and well-blended scent that could easily be sold for much more. If you are searching for a green/woody aroma that is both original and uplifting, as described by ONE_CLASSIC_MAN, then you should definitely consider this beautiful fragrance.
