Venus Vicky Tiel for women

The very sweet citrus-aldehyde opening had me feeling optimistic about how this fragrance might dry down, but in the heart phase Venus reminds me very much of Jil Sander No. 4 (which gives me headaches).

The sillage is lovely. I just wish I enjoyed the fragrance more!

I believe the spices, clove, and ylang may be a tad too pronounced on me?

Venus is such an easy-to-wear but still quite classy floral aldehyde. I simply adore Venus!

The aldehyde here isn't too sophiscated(like Chanel No.5) nor sting. When blended so well with citruses the start is optimistic and fresh.

Soon it becomes something sweet, confident, sensual, relaxing and somewhat sexy. I can't pick up any distinctive notes, but seems it's a harmonic combination of flowers with a tiny spicy hint. To me, somehow it smells like rose which emits rich nostalgic value (like the one from Paris by YSL) plus those canned cool sweet red bean porridge you can find in Asian grocery shops(by all means, I meant it in a good, delicious, mouth-watering but not sticky food way).

Then Venus dries in a linear fashion, it doesn't change too much, but simply added some vanilla-y soothing value in and becomes softer and calming.

I guess this is what a 'little black dress' should smell like. If those classic floral aldehydes are too strong for you, try Venus! It's such a pleasant perfume to wear.
