Venetian

Venetian is a fresh, green floral marketed for men from Armaf. Floral is how everyone describes it, most also find it green and citrusy, and a third notice spice, musk or herbs, which fits a classic cologne structure with a floral heart.

Orange, petitgrain and a mix of citrus notes open it, the orange juicy, the petitgrain green and leafy, so the start is bright and slightly bitter. Lavender and cardamom follow, the lavender clean and herbal, the cardamom cool and lightly spicy, and they lead into a floral heart that is unusually full for a masculine scent: lily of the valley for a dewy, soapy freshness, jasmine for a warm, creamy body, and rose for a soft, slightly sweet petal note. The base is dry and traditional, with oakmoss bringing a damp, bitter depth, vetiver a smoky, rooty wood, and musk a soft, clean finish.

It is a daytime scent for spring and summer, for men who like the old-fashioned citrus-and-moss style and do not mind flowers in the middle of it.
