Anonimo Veneziano

Im so happy this beautiful oriental perfume is finally added to the database! I have it for almost a year and its still one of my favourites. It's a italian perfume to be exact, but it reminds me more of something from the middle-east. Some compare it to coco, and i understand why, as they have many similar notes. But for me is coco much headier and sweeter. Because anonimo veneziano is more comforting to my nose, i prefer a.v. In the opening you can smell the oranges with jasmine. Then it becomes sweeter and sweeter, for me almost cloying. Its the combination of jasmine and ylang-ylang. After say 10 minutes, slowly the softer floral notes (lotus and rose) shine through and the jasmine is still there. Then i get a waft of patchouli. Normally i dont like patchouli, but in here its so beautifull, its never overpowering and it blends wonderfull with the rose, the other flowers and the oriental base notes. You end up with a very soft and classy oriental smell. These notes i smell the most: labdanum, patchouli, Rose, jasmine, a bit of orange and woods. About the staying power: i have the fragranza suprema, and it lasts the whole day! Sometimes i can still smell it the next day in my hair or on my wrists. I smelled the colonia intensa only on paper, its less 'deep' then the fragranza suprema, I remember it as being more citrussy and a little bit less of the basenotes (labdanum,patcouli,woods) and rose.

Vintage Vibe YLANG-SANDALWOOD with French Labdanum. Once the spray dries and the sillage starts to open up, I can feel the citruses, led by orange, and already the ylang is swelling through. Ylang here is succulent, tropical & citrus-fruity. As it transitions to the heart the jasmine also emerges with soft purples & near-licorice nuances. Something about this stage reminds me of Chanel - mostly Coco EDP Chanel, but there's a dash of Chanel No. 5 in there also. The base is a sandalwood-patchouli blend that's enriched by French Labdanum & creamy sweet vanilla. This has excellent performance for year round wear and leaves an oily sheen on the skin like an extrait de parfum although it's an eau de parfum. Contrast to Coco EDP Chanel: These are different, but there is a similar vibe, and similarities with yellow-floral, jasmine, rose, sandalwood, vanilla & labdanum. However, Coco EDP is spicier with coriander & clove, while Anonimo Veneziano has a more forward patchouli. Both have excellent performance. Overall: gorgeous vintage vibe ylang-sandalwood scent, with excellent performance. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

Beautiful perfumery perfume! It makes me close my eyes and inhale deeply...... That said, I try to describe what I’m detecting. It’s deep, resinous, smoky and super sensual upon from the opening...a bit sweet but not too much, a bit spicy, but not too much – labdanum, ylang-ylang and a lot of juicy orange, dry sandalwood and earthy patchouli... As time goes it becomes more dry and powdery. The orange disappears and the amber-sandalwood combo becomes dominant. With its deepness it should be more suitable for night time and it seems to belong to some other era, but I feel just perfect wearing it also with jeans, T-shirt and biker-boots...I cannot get enough of it. The silage is good and the longevity is excellent – 12 hours. Day after I can still detect its presence - different, some kind of luxury soap smell...I’m really happy to possess this mystic gem. (Here has been mentioned some similarities between Bal a Versailles and AV...I confirm, they have the same vibe.)

I blindbought this perfume (at half price) and I'm seriously wondering about the "meh" reviews it is getting. I almost regretted buying it seeing these reviews. But I have to say Nobile 1942 seldom disappoints me and this one -again- is pretty wonderful. It reminds me most of their 1001, it's opulent and rich, it has a certain je ne sais quoi as the French say which keeps you sniffing your wrist. This is another example of how different we all are, it's seriously good and I would never have known if I let the negative reviews dissuade me. Nobile 1942, I'm a fan and I'm looking forward to getting to know even more of your perfumes.

This is just splendid. It's slightly fruity, but very warm. It's incredibly long lasting on me - I don't find myself "losing" it as I often do with other fragrances. It's lovely, sophisticated, sensual, and a bit mysterious. For me it's also got a quality of flowers that have been soaked in warm honey - not sure if I'm communicating that the right way (?) - but it is really wonderful. Have now bought a full bottle, because this is truly a special, unforgettable fragrance. Warm, beautiful, and interesting.
