Yves Rocher Venice is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1986, created by Max Gavarry. Venice opens with Green, Bergamot, Lemon, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Yves Rocher's Venice carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.
