Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising white floral that screams 'femme fatale' to some and 'air freshener' to others. If you live for heady tuberose with a hint of something feral, this might be your Venus. If not? You'll be scrubbing it off.
A truly polarising floral that weaves together dark booziness, smoke, and a melancholic gardenia. This isn't a bright, happy flower; it's a dramatic, complex narrative for those who appreciate scent as an art form rather than a simple accessory. Discontinued, but fiercely desired by those who adore its tragic beauty.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Narcotic Venus is a powerful, long-lasting scent designed to make an impact, making it less suitable for the office where it could be overwhelming. Its sensual white floral character and strong sillage make it perfect for dates and evening events, leaving a memorable trail.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its dark, boozy, and smoky character makes it unsuitable for professional settings. However, its complex and sensual nature, often described as 'tragic and beautiful', lends itself perfectly to intimate evening wear or formal events where it can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual environment.
