Weil Secret De Venus is a perfume oil launched in 1933. Secret De Venus opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Gardenia, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Weil's Secret De Venus carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a tale of two perfumes. The vintage Secret De Venus? Absolutely divine, a classic for a reason. The modern iteration? A total disaster. Avoid the new, hunt down the old.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The vintage formulation's rich, luxurious character and moderate sillage make it perfect for date nights and formal events where you want to make an impression without overwhelming. It's less suited for office or casual wear due to its opulent nature, and definitely not for sport.

About

The vintage Secret De Venus opens with a bright, complex burst of bergamot and lemon, softened by a hint of lavender and juicy peach. This quickly melts into a rich, heady floral heart, with jasmine and gardenia offering a luxurious depth. The dry-down is where the magic truly unfolds, a warm, sensual embrace of creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and sweet vanilla, underpinned by a smoky cedar. It's a journey from sparkling fruit to a deep, animalic warmth.
