What does Vénus (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens fresh and citrusy with mandarin orange and magnolia leaf. Jasmine and magnolia carry the floral heart, softened by fruity and sweet accords. Patchouli and vanilla settle it onto a gourmand, powdery, creamy base, with a light spicy edge alongside.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and also suits daytime and nights out. It reads clearly feminine. Michael Kors Pink Horizon and Isabey Fleur Nocturne have a close profile.
