Ulric de Varens Varensia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994. Varensia opens with Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Powdery, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Ulric de Varens's Varensia carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive, vintage glam with a surprisingly modern twist. This affordable chypre offers a complex journey from a bright, aldehydic opening to a mossy, powdery drydown. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's a steal.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its bold, intricate profile and strong performance make it less ideal for the office or sport. The luxurious and complex chypre nature, however, lends itself beautifully to formal events and date nights, with some reviewers even finding it suitable for casual wear.

About

Varensia bursts forth with a vibrant, sparkling aldehyde and bright citrus fusion, underscored by a surprising pop of raspberry. As this classic chypre settles, a rich floral heart of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang emerges, intertwined with juicy blackcurrant. The experience culminates in a wonderfully deep, earthy base of oakmoss, patchouli, and vetiver, softened by powdery notes and a hint of creamy vanilla, leaving a trail of sophisticated warmth.
