Description
Venice Rococo opens with a bright, airy blend of Roman chamomile and aldehydes, softened by the delicate sweetness of Turkish rose water and hawthorn, immediately evoking a sense of refined elegance. As it settles, a rich, powdery accord emerges, reminiscent of vintage cosmetics, intertwined with the deep floralcy of Moroccan orange flower and black violet, spiced subtly with cumin. The fragrance ultimately rests on a plush, animalic amber base, complemented by the earthy sophistication of iris and a touch of French jasmine, creating a sensual and historically inspired powdery floral experience.
