Happy Surprise! Lives Up To The Hype
This is a low cost hidden gem that lives up to the hype of the reviews. 100ml of EDP for $20 in a substantial, attractive glass bottle with a strong atomizer, metal cap and a little silver scarf like the one she was made to mimic . Love! I bought this because I was curious to smell it as so many reviews said it was like La Vie Est Belle for a fraction of the price. I have LVEB and made a side by side comparison. Venizia smells like LVEB and Coco Mademoiselle mixed together then take the strength down about 30%. It's slightly less heavy than LVEB, slightly less sweet than LVEB. The fresh notes are similar in DNA to CM. The floral notes are close to LVEB. The spice is closest to LVEB. Lasts 5+on skin and projects up to 6 inches off the skin. I have not tested it on fabric yet. You have to really overspray to get it to go nuclear like LVEB but for the price you won't mind overspraying if thats what you need. It's not particularly sophisticated because it's a fragrance profile that we are all used to by now, but is an easy reach for most occasions if you like sweet pink floral. A very nice daytime scent and may be just enough for an evening scent on hot summer nights or crowded indoor venues. Pretty, budget friendly, bright and fun. Read more
