What does Venise (2008) smell like?

In Venise, the citrus notes, mandarin orange and bergamot, give a fresh start, while vanilla softens them with a sweet warmth. Patchouli and vetiver set the scent on a woody, earthy base, and frankincense adds a spicy, oriental touch. The floral and powdery accords stay in the background but give the scent a soft outline. The overall impression is a warm, woody feminine fragrance where citrus freshness meets oriental sweetness. Dior Midnight Poison (Eau de Parfum) and Chanel Allure Sensuelle (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
