About This Perfume
Catherine Malandrino Luxe de Venise smells like sunlit rosewater with apricot and a sea breeze. It opens with apricot, bergamot and grapefruit, moves into leaf green, lily of the valley and raspberry and settles on baltic amber, geranium and musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2020.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
