Varensia

Ulric de Varens Varensia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994. Varensia opens with Aldehydes, Neroli, Raspberry, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Blackcurrant, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Vetiver, Sandalwood, 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.

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.
