This scent is not impressive at all. The apple tartness is too intrusive, and the green notes are just annoying. The musk, which should be delicate, actually grates on your nerves. No balance at all, just boredom and monotony. I don't understand how anyone could like this 😒

Venetian Red - "Petersburg red" - is a fragrance that immediately evokes familiar sensations. It reminds you of an old apartment where generations of one family live. Everything seems neat, but there's a scent of people in the air that isn't repulsive, but rather inviting. If you start to inhale deeper, this scent seems to recede, leaving only a faint trace. One thing is clear: it's an old city, and spring is in full swing. The smell of algae and decay suggests stagnant water nearby, and the spring notes of poplar buds literally scream about nature's awakening. I don't know if these buds are actually in the fragrance, but it feels like something similar is present. In the note, you can hear wormwood, citruses, and something else that brings to mind old apartments in the center of Petersburg, where windows face the Moyka River and the sun breaks through the poplar leaves. Of course, "Venetian red" is just a color, but associations with Venice are hard to ignore. After the initial impression of spring, a deeper aroma remains, reminiscent of the past: the smell of old furniture, parquet floors, and cozy evenings. The overall tone of the fragrance is dark red, dense, and rich. Speaking of notes, nutmeg and frankincense, as well as moss, can be distinguished. Floral notes seem to have dissolved into the sweetness of nutmeg, and vetiver with patchouli are so tightly intertwined that they are difficult to distinguish. There's a feeling of balms, but I can't say exactly what it is. Overall, the fragrance leaves a pleasant aftertaste and a sense of connection to the past )

The opening is simply amazing - sweet apricots and patchouli sound so bright and vibrant! But over time, the scent becomes too sweet. Nutmeg starts to emerge, and, honestly, I don't always like it. It's a real shame, because overall it could have been an ideal combination

The rhubarb scent is here, but it doesn't smell like modern perfumes. Not bright and not too positive, rather, it resembles a mixed filling for an apple and rhubarb pie. There's no joy in it, but a certain melancholy, even sadness. Sweet and sour, but it feels like it lacks energy. If rated on a 100-point scale, it would stop at 50. It feels like it lacks dynamism and flight!!

How amazing! In this fragrance, I catch caramel pear drops, as well as sweetish powdery notes that pleasantly surprise. A slight hint of fresh green grass adds an interesting touch. This perfume truly impresses with its subtlety and elegance

I couldn't wear it properly... From the very first moment, it just started to suffocate me, and it never let go. It was a real ordeal... just a nightmare

The fragrance is sweet, with notes of roses, peaches, and vanilla. It's very neat and cozy, pleasant to wear. Despite all its sweetness, it doesn't cause a suffocating feeling 🌸
