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.
This osmanthus-led beast is either a divisive makeup bag accord or a multi-faceted, fruity-floral dream; a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Definitely one to try before you buy, but don't expect it to be a quiet one.
