What does Venetian Blue smell like?

It lasts well and projects at a moderate level. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the settings named most often. Voters mostly read it as masculine.

It opens with pineapple, apple, lemon and bergamot, a fruity brightness. In the heart, patchouli, birch, pink pepper and black pepper bring a spicy, earthy and slightly smoky edge. Moss, musk and ambergris leave a woody, sweet base. Perfumes with a close profile include The Merchant Of Venice Venetian Blue Intense and Creed Aventus.
