Dialogue With Venus

I absolutely love this fragrance. Sticky sweet vanilla is usually not my thing at all, but I work in niche fragrance and actually bought a full bottle of this. The combination of components here creates this truly playful and almost silly elixir. It's immensely feminine, but not in a way that feels at all soft or demure- it's big campy femininity. This fragrance does not take itself too seriously at all; we're treated to something joyful, reveling in its sexuality and power. It feels reminiscent of more juvenile fruity vanilla formulas, but its too self aware for that. Don't mistake what may at first appear frivolous and unsophisticated for a lack of confidence, intelligence, and purpose! In regards to the notes: I'm not sure how anyone doesn't smell the salt. The combination of salt, musk, and sandalwood here create an intoxicating sweaty skin feel- and with that carefree smooth vanilla & peach on top we just get something so rapturous and fun. Ylang ylang adds an optimistic and uplifting flare to the composition. I'm wearing this a lot now in February cold; it *might* be too much in the warm weather, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Ethereal fruity salty vanilla. Ylang ylang, peach, sandalwood, vanilla and sea salt. The name aptly suits it. Venus, the goddess of love and war. Forlorn but playful. Desired and feared. A cool late afternoon or early evening on the seashore full of driftwood. A woman wearing white who has freshly showered with sandalwood vanilla soap, eating a peach, waiting for her lover to arrive on shore, but he never does... every day, without fail, she stands on the shore and stares into the distance, with her half eaten peach in hand. The seashore is somewhere in the west, on the Atlantic. This isn’t a tropical pacific shore, but a melancholic forlorn Atlantic shore, full of big waves and overcast. This performs beautifully on a warm breezy day. The underlying notes do smell quite similar to Burberry woman and other similar peachy sandalwood perfumes, but this is airy, salty, and heavier in vanilla. On a cold evening the sandalwood became more prominent, when worn on a warmer breezy day it became fruitier and airier. I’m quite enjoying this, the scent bubble it creates is lovely. I can see this growing into a love very soon.

this house is blowing me away... seriously so good, so many of them this one is a sexy summery ylang-ylang with vanilla coconut and salty sea water nothing sub screeny about it though, it's weirdly fresh this is also the first ylang-ylang frangrance that doesn't induce a headache for me and that I would wish a full bottle of I agree that longevity is not the forte of this house, and actually a lot of scents are really understated or initmate, haven't tried any beast mode one but for me that is not an issue, more often than not I'd rather refresh my perfume than start getting tired of it throughout the day

You bought fresh full-fat milk from a farmer. Went to a friend's house and boiled it. You let it cool down. Your friend suggests you add some vanilla pods and a spoon of sugar to the milk and drink it. His grandmama used to do that. You try the milk, it's boring. You see an over ripped peach on the counter. You take the peach in your hand and start squeezing...the juice is running through your fingers and dripping into the milk. you give it a stir. While sipping the light milkshake you smell whiffs of ylang ylang from the back garden. Gourmandish...sweet...lactonic...creamy...femminine...sexy.

Wow wow I am starting to really love this line Tonkabodykon was great & this one is a light airy vanilla perfect for summer. I need a FB. Incredible! I’m on a quest for a nice light vanilla this fits the bill I believe! The peach, musk ,& seas spray are subtle & don’t overtake the blend. I have a problem lately w blends w about 20 notes in there. This is great just simple summery vanilla.

This was a love at first sniff! If you’re a fan of powdery vanilla you’ll probably love this. It’s slightly sweet but not cloying. I don’t really get the sea water note here. Bought the bottle from the brand’s website and they sent samples of the entire white bottle line along with this. Well worth it!

Such a cute name and attractive bottle. I realized right away that it reminded me of Burberry Woman(honestly much smoother with more peach,I’m really starting to love it more and more each time i test it

I get marshmallows mixed with a decadent peach, and vanilla yogurt....or maybe ice cream. Nothing sour, or synthetic. Just fluffy, smooth, and creamy. A big love for me.

for me it’s vanilla ice cream that has almost fully melted. creamy buttery soft. its embrace is soothing and warm

Got a sample of this with an order. I don't think the 'twist' in the notes is enough to stop this just being fundamentally a very sweet, creamy gourmand- 'seawater' notes are noticeable at the start but you can just as easily read it as a sort of salted-butter, pancakes-with-ice-cream scent as a beachy one. Great longevity and doesn't smell cloying for how sweet it is. Interesting texture - I don't think the woody notes project as much as the gourmand ones but they're definitely there in the skin scent. Reminds me a little of a less floral, more purely edible-smelling version of the now-discontinued TF Orchid Soleil. Definitely not the sort of thing I'd buy for myself but wasn't bad to wear for a day. For those that are into it, I suspect there's plenty of other fragrances at a much lower price point that do the 'milky vanilla musk' thing well enough already though.

I get a sweet and powdery vanilla and yellow florals with coconut and a hint of saltiness from the sea water accord. It's really beautiful. It kinda has the same powdery vanilla vibe that I love in Intime Extime, which is also one of my favorites. This is an absolute love for me. The yellow florals and powdery vanilla are blended perfectly with the sea water note. So far, all the PG fragrances I've tried, I've loved. I have been really impressed with this house!

This is a new to me fragrance house and I received a sample of this from a friend. I really enjoyed the beachy vibe I got from this on a hot, muggy day and I felt the seawater note helped dial down the strength of the vanilla making it wearable in the hot weather. A great perfume for the summer I think if you find some of the fruitier vanillas too sweet on a hot day.

Soft, light vanilla musk with peach and a hint of aquatic, somehow it all works. This is a gentle, slightly sweet, milky scent. Something different for vanilla lovers.

Sweet and creamy, with a little saltiness . A unique and beautiful vanilla perfume to me 🩷

I don't know why people think Dialogue With Venus smells like a une madone- to me they are soooo different. Yes they both have vanilla but a une madone has a rice and milk vanillic thing going on - it literally has no fruit. The opening of Venus hits me with fruit upside the head and not in a happy way. This is not the lovely fluffy peach of histoires de parfums 1969. It's fruity but I can identify the fruit just sort of generic fruitiness. It's definitely a big 'meh' for me but I'm really not a fan of generic fruity notes. It does dry down to a more clean ish scent probably from the aquatics and the musks. Just 💯 not my thing. I also think there are better perfumes that do what this is trying to do but less expensive and better done. Also so close to the skin and not long lasting.

The peach is pretty potent in this and I don’t get anything marine or sea water like. Which is the main reason I bought it. To me- it smells like milky sweet tarts, very sugary and powdery sweet tarts...maybe in a bowl of vanilla ice cream. If you like candy-like scents you would probably enjoy this. I don’t, personally.

My dialogue with Venus: Me: {Kneels before goddess} Venus: Rise, child. Put on a milky, white latex dress. Then melt some sticks of salted butter. Once the butter is melted, pour it on your body and roll around on your kitchen floor while drinking a bottle of vanilla extract. Me: Yes, goddess.

Starts of a as a linear, easy vanilla. Not bad, not great. With time becomes almost TOO lactonic and the added saltiness from the sea note makes it... Odd. A little spoiled, a little like a sweaty skin scent. Maybe this is better with someone else's chemistry.

This is like a better, less sickly sweet version of Clean Reserve Skin. It's still too suffocating though, with not enough dimension. Like drinking pure simple syrup. It's alright, but I'm tired of scents with this quality.

How on earth is this a floral?! It's absolutely a gourmand to me...sweet, creamy, rich, almost edible and almost...fleshy?
