Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, much-missed 90s powerhouse, Venezia is a complex, opulent fruity-amber scent that inspires fierce loyalty and nostalgia. Modern reformulations might miss the mark, but the vintage original is a rare and beloved masterpiece.
A divisive scent, with some raving about its raspberry-peppery allure, while others dismiss it as fleeting and uninspired. If you're after a lighter, fresher take on Givenchy's Hot Couture, this might just be your jam- or your cheap fruity frag.
