Lumière de Venise

Lumière de Venise, composed by Sophie Chabaud for Chabaud Maison de Parfum in 2015, is a woody floral with fruit, citrus and a mossy base. Everyone who describes it calls it woody and floral, most also notice sweetness and citrus, and a minority find it green.

Grapefruit and bergamot open it with a bright, juicy sparkle, and peach adds a soft, velvety sweetness. The heart is floral and gentle, with rose bringing a velvety petal note, jasmine a sunny radiance and violet a powdery, slightly sweet touch. The base is grounded and classic: oakmoss gives an earthy, damp, forest-floor greenness, patchouli a dark, earthy depth, sandalwood a creamy woodiness and tonka bean an almond-like sweetness.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like fruity florals built on a chypre-style mossy base. The profile works for spring and autumn, daytime and evenings, and suits smart occasions where a polished scent fits. Those who enjoy peach and rose compositions with a soft, mossy finish should find it graceful.
