Venus in Fleurs

I took a road trip to Sorce's one and only flagship store and tried basically everything they had. This perfume surprised me so much that I bought a FB. It's almost a sticky kind of sweet thanks to the juicy mango, and has an enveloping floral quality due to the jasmine, but to me I feel as though the two notes are blended in such a way that you can't tell exactly where these sensations are coming from which lends an otherworldly vibe to the frag. It's powerful in a way I don't tend to love but somehow it works for me here, I just have to be careful about overspraying. As it dries, the sweetness gives way to the greenery. Intoxicating is definitely the right descriptor.

This is my new summer scent. It's lush, sensual and intoxicatingly delicious. Wow, it does make me feel like some tropical Venus. It's dangerous and sexy, but fresh and invigorating. The mango wears a bit like peach on me personally but the green and jasmine create this very gorgeous complexity that's humid and sticky. If you're a bit into darker fragrances I'd say this is a gorgeous darker summer scent. It's like forbidden love on a tropical getaway. It gives images of banana leaves and orchids, the eyes of a big cat shining from behind the shadows.

this surprised me! i was not expecting to like this as much as i do, especially since i tend to gravitate towards soft and spicy scents. like other reviewers have said, this is more floral than juicy. the jasmine is BEAUTIFUL and just lovely, and the mango is definitely there! it adds a sweetness and a ripeness to the perfume that makes me feel like i’m in a botanical garden greenhouse! i actually love it so much and i normally cant stand tropical fragrance!!! it feels sophisticated and LUSH.

Reminds me of mango jasmine tea. Heavier than much of Sorce's library, but decadent and evocative. It feels like you're transported somewhere with thick, heavy, ripe mango and lots of humidity. Definitely a summer-y fragrance. Sorce proves again that fruity smells are best tempered with an equal dose of greens. EDIT: May become too heavy and thick, almost choking, if you reach for it too often. Probably best as a layer with something lighter and cleaner.

Venus in Fleurs has captured the sticky heaviness of humidity you’d feel in a jungle. On my skin, the green notes are incredibly prominent, as is the mango. I don’t normally gravitate toward fruity fragrances but this is a definite exception. The green notes stop this from leaning too sweet and make it very realistic. I think this scent is very sexy but in a naturalistic way. Can’t wait to wear this all summer long!
