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!

I adore this! I don’t usually go for jasmine scents but this is so easily likeable, I think jasmine lovers and not-so-lovers alike will enjoy this. It is mango-forward, especially at the opening but the vanillic jasmine absolute underneath shines as well. With that combination I also get osmanthus vibes from this, a fave of mine!

My absolute favorite Sorce scent by far! I’m not really sure how, but they captured the smell of humidity?! Even my husband, whom hates green scents, loved this one. It’s like walking into a green house during a hot and humid summer day while slurping down a ripe mango. Its gorgeous and I can’t get enough of it!

Definitely a Venus scent. Sticky sweet mango warm in the sun with humid, heady, slightly indolic white florals. The dry-down is like honey-vanilla. Perfect summer fragrance if you want heady florals with tropical fruit. Very strong, good longevity and projection. A decadent feminine scent.

I smell mango, humidity, jasmine, and honeysuckle. Venus in Fleurs makes you feel like you're eating a sweet mango in a tropical rainforest. It's not a perfumy interpretation, it smells very realistic. I agree with flatfootqueef, this is very intoxicating.

A hot, humid, sticky green house in a tropical landscape. Like you tugged to hard on an over ripe mango trying to pull it off the tree and the juice is running down your arm while carnivorous plants salivate over you in the background.

A sweetened jasmine bomb with mangoes and green plants, an absolute banger! Not sure what humidity is supposed to smell like this but this is soooo divine. It also lasts forever, I don’t spray a lot since it’s so beast mode.

Gorgeous sweet juicy mango note with a green opening that dries down to a beautiful jasmine.

Sensual, seductive and sexy Perhaps something Lilith would have worn in the garden

This smells like a greenhouse full of warm, steamy jasmine and ripe mangoes. At first, the juicy mango is THERE. And she's YUMMY. Then the jasmine really takes over. It stays juicy, plump, and green throughout the wear, almost sharp in its greenness. Floral absolutely, but also tangy and sour. This is one of those scents that I can almost taste - the steaminess, the humidity almost clings to the roof of my mouth. Overall this perfume is SO interesting. It just smells so wild and alive.

They nailed the humidity note. Think emerging from a shower during a vacation in the tropics. The mirrors are foggy because you forgot to turn on the humidity fan, and you can smell the mango shampoo off of your still-warm damp hair. As it dries down it's mostly heavy florals. It's on the stronger side of Sorce's scents--I probably would not wear more than one or two sprays of this.

this is an amazing fruity jasmine. i dont usually love white florals but this feels so nostalgic and fancy like being at a tea party as a kid or using your rich aunt’s fancy hand soap. great projection and i feel like you could wear this all year for any occasion. very comforting

ripe, juicy fruits and tart berries that give way to humid, tropical greens. not quite strong but not very weak. very well blended as well, it doesn't lean too much into any one scent note. would be a lovely beach trip vacation scent!

venus in fleurs is the fragrance I was most excited about from Sorce because of the plant note but unfortunately i dont really smell it. I get mostly mango and jasmine but it still smells fresh and good to me (oil sample)

Definitely pulls more jasmine than mango but the jasmine in this is very tea-like and soft which makes it perfect for warm weather. Reminds me of Orabella's blooming fire but with an added fruity undertone

Such a lovely fruity floral scent. In the air I smell a lot more mango, but closer to the skin is when the vanilla jasmine comes out. I think this would be a good light summer scent.
