What does Cuir Vénitien smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It reads feminine; no season or occasion clearly stands out.

It opens with aquatic notes, bitter orange and bergamot, a watery, citrusy start. In the heart, May rose and jasmine meet the sweet, fruity tones of plum and passion fruit, with prunol adding depth. The base of leather, white musk and Atlas cedar leaves it powdery, woody and leathery, while the aquatic and synthetic accords keep a cool edge. Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours and Zara Vibrant Leather Winter have a close profile.
