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 Redcurrant Leaf, Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Powdery, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Ulric de Varens's Varensia carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-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.

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.
