Venice

by Max Gavarry

Yves Rocher Venice is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1986, created by Max Gavarry. The fragrance opens with Peach, Green, Rosewood, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Civet, Sandalwood, Opoponax, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on Venice: Acquired

This 80s powerhouse, often compared to Obsession and Must de Cartier, is a divisive but deeply loved oriental. If you like classic, warm, spicy scents, Venice is a hidden gem, though good luck finding a full bottle. It's not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it.

Its potent, warm, and spicy oriental profile, frequently described as 'heavy' and 'intense,' makes it less suitable for office or casual wear where subtlety is preferred. However, its romantic and sensual nature, with impressive lasting power, is perfectly suited for date nights and formal evening events.

About

Venice opens with a fleeting peach and bergamot sparkle, quickly giving way to a rich, powdery floral heart of orris and rose, underpinned by earthy patchouli. Its true character emerges in the deep, luxurious base: a warm, velvety blend of vanilla, amber, resinous opoponax, and smooth sandalwood, all softened by a hint of civet and oakmoss. It's a comforting, spicy embrace, reminiscent of dark red velvet.
