What does Venetian Belladonna smell like?

Jasmine sambac and tuberose form the floral core, while plum and blackcurrant add a fruity sweetness and honey a soft warmth. Suede and cognac bring a leathery, faintly boozy depth, with sandalwood and patchouli laying a woody base. Green and spicy touches keep the sweetness from turning heavy. Since the notes have no top, heart and base split, the scent reads as a single whole from start to finish.

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Olfactive Studio Selfie and Guess Guess Suede have a close profile.
