Anni Venti

It's so interesting that with minimal marketing copy and no listed notes, the interpretations of a perfume vary so wildly! I am here to add yet another take that does not align with any of the previous reviews. Firstly, I love this fragrance. I understand why its so special to the perfumer, and I totally get the 1920s vibe that the marketing copy refers to. I don't think it’s as dramatic as some of the other reviews suggest, and I don't agree with the "smells like" votes. Not a spice bomb or floral bomb to me. But very robust and dense, for sure! It has the texture of Habanita, which is indeed a 1920s fragrance. So not an overly dry talc-y powder, but a dense mastic texture. Also the subtle spice and heliotrope/vanilla sweetness of Habanita. (I am surprised no one else has mentioned this, it is the most obvious reference to me). There is also something in common with Amouage Blossom Love, also a heliotrope-heavy scent. A bit of boozy amaretto with abstract florals. You could interpret this amaretto note as "fig jam" as another did (in a disparaging but funny way), but I'm going with amaretto, maybe tobacco. As for the florals, to me its a bit rosy and maybe a but of a purple floral as well. Finally there is a myrrh here that adds a deeper medicinal touch. Otherwise it isn't like Amir from this brand, which I dislike. Overall not a diva fragrance like some have said, but definitely confident and self-possessed. Very long-lasting with good sillage. tl;dr: A dense powder with floral and spice nuances, somewhere between Habanita and Blossom Love, with more myrrh in the drydown. Beautiful!

"Anni Venti" refears to Laura Tonatto's career length without pretending (in that case it would be really silly indeed, seeing that now a days its quite impossible to find and to use materials out of commerce, rare or forbidden...) to be a vintage perfume. The ingredients composing this fragrance are top secret as the same L.T. refused giving the "pyramid"- although a trained nose can recognize some among them, which are mostly first rate ones and nothing is done cheaply. Personally I cannot smell any "fig jam pot" as normally I keep out careless cooks, therefore I'm not familiar with eating disorders and bla bla bla. The fragrance takes after itself being no copy of...or resembling... although either for the colour, the intensity or the persistence it is more familiar to old perfumes than nowdays many "smelling waters" pretending to be called "eau de...". I'm sure you must have experienced something very different from the original Anni Venti, and your poisonus comment is due to probably that shocking experience : a strange terribly kept liquid, or china-made sold for the original. Be careful next time you do your shopping! ;)

Well, so far this and Notte di Taif are my favourites from Laura. This is a dramatic spice bomb for a diva indeed.Its a shame there is no note pyramid info provided. Id make a guess that there is lots of myrhh, benzoin and some incense which make up the base. The middle and top notes are definitely floral with rose and jasmine most definitely starring. There is definitely neroli in the top notes. Wear this when you want to make an entrance and be noticed. Moderate sillage and longevity.

Great fragrance, on a confident woman especially. I discovered it during an exhibition of antique clothes at the Reggia of Venaria during my last trip in Turin (Italy). I bought it as a present for the 'next aristochratic woman' with certain characteristics so one who can wear it without spoiling. It's a great scent with all the charme of on old perfume and the modernity of a new fragrance. Wonderful!

Anni Venti scent is increadibly beautiful, warm, spicy and well rounded. I fell in love with it immediately and forever. It is very long lasting and is a bit similar to Serge Lutens Arabie, but much more interesting as Arabie and more refined. True, it is an unusual scent, but boy, soooooo gorgeous and expensive smelling. Truly something special!
