Narcotic Venus
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A classic white-floral composition led by orange blossom, gardenia and jasmine over a warm amber base. Spring and summer date and evening wear for those who like soft, heady florals with a quiet animalic depth.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
White floral notes (orange blossom, gardenia, jasmine) read as bright spring and summer wear; warm amber base extends transition into fall but the floral heart is too light for deep winter.
Occasions
Heady white-floral profile and amber warmth pitch this at dates and casual romantic settings; suitable for formal occasions with the right context. Too floral for sport, a touch too sweet for office.
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.
