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.

As a man , I am using this perfume a lot , every single time people asking about it . In the opening the smell leans to feminine vibes but the dry down on the skin and its interaction with my body + atmosphere making this perfume for me a masterpiece. Its kinda safe blind buy but if you had a chance to try it before buying it I would highly advise to do that

Ive smelled literal hundreds of fragrances yet i cant pinpoint anything like this. Maybe a bit in the vibe of Leen by Lattafa, it reads like a 2000’s mom-bomb in the best way possible. Grown ass woman with her shit together, would knock a horse down for their kids type of situation.

This one is amazing ! You have to be careful how much you spray because it might turn out to be cloying for some. 8 sprays should do the trick and you will be smelling like Musky Peppery Jasmine for easily 10 hours with beastly projection !

It's really special, I've never smelled anything like it. The pepper gives is a beautiful punch and it really balances the florals. It's sophisticated and really quite something. Love it!

I bought it for my mother, she just tested it at her hand in first day and I could smell it at home all the day. Very long lasting and strong projection

Beautiful fragrance ! Unique dna and beautiful! Floral sweet but with slight Middle Eastern dna

A somehow powdery green fresh spicy fruit-chouli I can't compare with anything else. Beautiful!

Just got this today after seeing it smells similar to Mojave ghost. Definitely in the same ballpark just a bit less fruity/sweet as Mojave ghost. Maybe after macerating that’ll change. Pretty decent alternative if you don’t want to spend the money on Mojave ghost. Id say it’s around 70-75% similar but take that with a grain of salt.

Leans a bit feminine, but as a man you can layer it with a woody musk fragrance and be good. Very strong pleasant smell too!

Mirzakis, I do not find it similar to Decadence. Maybe just a little... It is juicy, dense, warm, yummy, and rather sweet in the opening. Then it becomes slightly woody, yet still very warm, with reminiscences of sweet fruits combined with roses and woods. Rose is not listed, nor are any fruits, but somehow I can smell them! I imagine it as a red-colored, full-bodied, and very warm fragrance. I like it a lot.

To me this fragrance just smells like ink, ink straight out of a fountain pen ink bottle, like i cant get any other note out of this, no vanilla, no spice nothing, maybe a little bit of jasmine but even that is drowned out by the inky smell. But on the plus side: this lasts and projects, it lasts like almost an entire day on my skin and projects for a solid 6-8 hrs.

I recently purchased this and it’s amazing. I don’t have anything like it in my collection. The black and pink pepper makes this not very sweet and boring. The woody notes really ground this fragrance while vanilla gives it a nice sweetness. This is very enjoyable.

Astonished how nobody else thinks this smells like Tuxedo, it’s essentially the same scent

It's there any similarities with marc jacobs decadence?
