Visa 2007 (for women)

mellybee

Visa by Piguet was created for "a sophisticated woman travels the world but never gets lost in the crowd. Her signature fragrance is reminiscent of all the places she visits and sights she sees."

So the traveller in me was attracted to try the reformulated Visa. I am not convinced that the right olfactory group is oriental floral, it is much more chypre fruity for my nose. Or, let's say, a spellbinding combination of a bowl of ripened fruits and a bunch of variegated flowers with gourmand lethery chypre accords.
Mandarin, pear and white peach sprinkled with vanilla sugar are leading one into the heart of the fragrance, composed by rose, orange blossom and ylang-ylang deepened by honey, at least for my nose. The composition is never overwhelming, nor cloying, in fact, it demonstrates, how alluring the combination of fruit and flower can be. The gourmand notes are refined and sophisticated. The immortal and moss give chypre quality to the fragrance. As the scent dries down I can also smell the subtle earthyness of patchouli.

Visa is a well done fragrance with depth and character, offering a choice for the cold days.

Nice, very fruity, very lighthearted scent to me, not the one you would expect to come out of the black bottle. I liked it, but next to Fracas it looks very ordinary, though they're in different olfactive groups..oops, is it oriental woody? don't believe that. It's very fruity, rather floral fruity,starting with capital 'F'. I hope my nose didn't play tricks on me

I had forgotten how wonderful Visa was until I resniffed it the other day, it was like falling in love all over again! Love it! A sweet fruity floral but with character, unlike many of the new releases on the market. In the base there's a tiny bit of oakmoss and vetiver, only barely there - like a whisper of a chypre. Gorgeous!!
