Ven

This is like a toxic cherry pit cyanide version of Femme and is absolutely amazing . I wouildnt have given you two bob (Australian slang for crap) for anything of this brand from reading the scant and mostly negative publicity , but the fact is, this perfume, strange, powerful like the the almost sickening masterpieces of old, is really something. It's like a Serge Lutens from... Pluto, after it was demoted from planet hood. Got knows what sort of sillage or other effects it has on the casually wafted populace, but sitting alone, late at night on a sheep station in Australia it is a real masterpiece. I know damned by faint praise, but this is a stunning and unforgettably unique fume and that's saying something in today's perfume landscape.

Oh Henri345que!!!!! What a fabulous review!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!

The huge bold spicy/animalic opening is aimed at a certain target of fragrance wearers. I would assume that target is in the minority as this has no balance at all. Perhaps if the fruity and sweet notes were detectable then this could be a tolerable scent for more folks to enjoy. As it stands I agree with the other reviewers. Not a fan at all and this is the 1st and most likely last that I will sample from this house.

This perfume smells like freshly lit incense when first sprayed. Then the perfume slowly becomes more of a woodsy peppermint with a bit of a sweet scent.

ok.. now i got the chance to sniff this juice! I got a HUGE cumin slap on the face right away when i first sniffed it! as the cherry rum begin to rise after just few seconds of applying! & that Alucard's Cloak from "Ta" appeared here again as a velvet bed now with black Castoreum prints on holding a darker blend of rum and cherries which are already blended with cumin powder. After 15 minutes, the ylang ylang, vanilla, & the tonka beans are forming another creamy blend similar to the one I've sensed in "Det" but that's quite way beneath the rum note that conquered the scene after the cumin on the middle note. To be honest it is quite risky, dark, and interesting as this one in particular when i first sniffed it i felt that I've smelled this fragrance before but i couldn't find out which fragrance that shares the same smell! and just NOW i remembered the one. "Ven" reminds me ALLOT of "Noir Obscur by Antonio Alessandria" specially the rum and the cumin used :) i'm really wondering!! ... Well ... i don't know wither if Angelo is doing this on purpose or doing this just to smash the idea of what so called the Chanel #5 fragrance hype! the Chanel #5 that he always talks about in his interviews! the Chanel #5 that overcame his mind! Angelo, Chanel #5 is a commercial fragrance while yours are niche & not for everyone. You can't create something unwearable or something this bizarre & wants people to open up just like that & start to use the creations you make! well at least try to make something intermediate or something kind of commercial for the beginners so they'll get to know you more deeply, later you can create whatever you want and it will be hyped just like that, Cause honestly i feel that you are creating these fragrances just for the sake of being different rather than passion! i hope i'm wrong :/ Edit (11th Jan 2019) After almost 4 years gladly i tried it again AND found a full bottle! This is quite sensual, an animalic sensuality with a cumin power splash and boozy cherries. The first top spray makes it quite harsh and bit awful, but the following minutes makes it charming, very like a high class gang member or as i mentioned above "Alucard's Cloak". The drydown turns into a cherry cumin in a powdery frame. When i asked Angelo how he describes it he said "Smoke butter flowers tobacco sex and fruit", and to be honest i bought it right away as it sounded appealing without trying it again cause my sample finished long ago and i can barely remember how this smells so it was a blend buy which i am always against :D But thank GOD it was REALLY amusing since i am growing a love affair with cumin, besides, i am an animalic blends admirer so this is beautiful to me.
