BPAL review: Venice



Venice

BPAL description: From the Wanderlust collection. A complex, voluptuous scent that captures the robust beauty and of the Italian Renaissance: lemon, red currant, wisteria, red rose petals, heady jasmine, Florentine orris root, waterlily, red sandalwood, violet plum, and violet leaf.

In vial: Complex scent with a hint of lemon.

Wet: Still complex with a hint of lemon - soft undertone like amber.

Dry: That soft warm undertone is there, and the lemon is still faintly floating on top, but the rest is too complex for me to pick out any particular scents.

Notes: The cat is not impressed and would rather go back to sleep. It's nice, but just not me - the ambery smell isn't quite amber enough, and the complex notes - faintly floral, now that I think about it - aren't really doing anything *for* me.
