PASSION OF VENICE

So this was shoking for me, for the first time in my olfactory trip I found a fragrance that smells completely different from what the notes would indicate. Despite being a fragrance with middle notes like patchouli and jasmine, and drydown with amberwood and sandal wood, all I can smell is the Scandal Homme EDP DNA - and basically this is geranium, a very inky, red flowery note, like a very fresh and citric rose, and an ambery, vanillic and vetivery caramel on drydown. Completely unisex and suitable for a man. What's surprising is that this kind of DNA happens to be my favourite, and I couldn't find a good clone for it - untill now. The quality is above average, longevity and projection are good, mass appeal, season independent, day or night, the only problem I have is the price - in my country that would be around 55 euros for 100 ml extrait. But other than that, this is an incredibly good offer from Swiss Arabian, and, along with the fantastic Spirit of Valencia offer (apple cider fizzy note, very well done and natural) it's the best from the Cities line. Good job ! Test before you buy, they have a Discovery set for the cheap !

Realizo mis comentarios primero recién comprado luego edito después de meses de uso. Desde el primer momento muy buen aroma, en sus notas no declara frutas pero tiene alguna nota escondida como fruta con cítrico refrescante, desde el primer momento buena proyección y duración. Es un perfume muy versátil y rico. Tanto para hombre como para mujer según mi gusto personal, a mi me da igual disfrutar de un aroma si se considera para hombre o mujer, pues si encaja con mi estilo o dentro de algún apartado de mi colección lo compro y ya está. Comprado febrero de 2026. Edito en junio de 2026. Es un perfumazo para mí excelente para el dia a dia, para la oficina, para almuerzo y post comida con amigos, es super versátil y todas las estaciones. Está dentro de mi colección en el apartado de perfume "para todo" como lo están también Marwa, Art of Universe, Turathi Blue. Excelente duración y proyección. Joya oculta del hype. Calidad nicho. Excelente materia prima la de Swiss Arabian.

This is my third blind buy from Cities Collection and, not surprisingly, it's another banger. It smells like nothing I've got or smelt before. It's a little fresh, but also warm at the same time. I get green notes with fruity pink pepper and cedarwood in the opening plus nice warmth from amberwood and vanilla. Not much patchouli. Smells grown up, sophisticated and addictive. Blended very well with excellent performance. Designer perfumes can only dream to be of this quality. Totally unisex, can be worn all year round. Great value for the price.

This is an amazing fragrance. I know there is no plum note in this but I’m getting something similar to the Rouge Chaotique and Bibliotheque DNA from Byredo. If you like those two fragrances, you’ll love this. It’s a more casual version of Bibliotheque IMO. Great performance just like all Swiss Arabian fragrances. The price is a tad bit high but you can usually get this off the TT shop for a discounted price. This is the third Cities collection from Swiss Arabian I have and all great so far.

I just got Passion of Venice and it is beautiful. I get the Swiss Arabian DNA. BUT ITS NOT a green, peppery savory juice. On my skin it's feminine leaning, very feminine leaning. I get a watery, soapy peony/rose, something bright and fruity almost a citrus/ lychee note. There is some polite vanilla and maybe some green woods. But this is Delina's countryside cousin. It's not what I was expecting at all, but im here for it.
