Indian Venus

by Benoît Bergia

Haute Fragrance Company Indian Venus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Benoît Bergia. Indian Venus opens with Labdanum, Orange Blossom, and Woody, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Sandalwood, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Musk and Brown Sugar. Haute Fragrance Company's Indian Venus carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Indian Venus is a divisive one, a polarising blend of sweet white florals and deep woods. Some find it a heavenly, soft cloud, while others are off-put by a challenging, acrid drydown. Definitely not for a blind buy.

The prominent sweet and woody accords make this best suited for cooler weather and romantic settings. While some find it comforting for casual wear, its intensity and potential for an 'off-putting' drydown limit its versatility for formal or office environments.

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly woody accord mixed with bright orange blossom and a hint of warm labdanum. The heart blossoms into a creamy blend of jasmine and sandalwood, grounded by cedar. As it dries, a prominent brown sugar note emerges, sweetened by musk, creating a warm, comforting base that can unfortunately turn metallic or 'barnyard' on some skins.
