Lemony roses very well executed. The bottle is beautiful. I've said I would but again - and I might, for someone else. For me, it's a little too bright and a bit too tart. But if you love lemony citrus scents, this is very pretty.

I agree with the review by Laurus..This scent reminds me alot of CD J'Adore but much lighter.If you had to describe fresh water or a breeze in terms of scent,Venezia would cover both..This is a very light,clean,watery scent..Nothing amazing but good ,clean scents are hard to find.

I tried it a while ago and was very disappointed. This fragrance is nothing special... Nothing like the Venezia I used to wear and love! The one by Laura Biagiotti. This is a big flop... Oh and the staying power is nil... it was gone within 10 minutes... Good thing too since the fragrance is nothing I'd want to hold on to...

It took me quite a while to figure out what this scent reminds me of...something else I had worn...something I didn't hate. It's Lancomes' O Oui. Oui is lighter and I think a little fruitier, but the overall scent is very similar. The beautiful bottle is what you're paying for mostly (in comparison to Oui's bottle...which is inexpensive and... um, I think icky). This is one of those see-through fragrances. It's got a lot of citrus and herbal-floral notes and then some rather strong impressions of lilies, especially Lily of the Valley. It also sports a popular synthetic note perfumers call water lily. Stayed on me all day. It's not invisible, just translucent.

Beautiful bottle, but stinky fragrance. It's just bland and quite honestly smells like some sort of bathroom cleaner.

This is 1 of my all time fragrances. It smells so good yet not overpowering. It's so versatile. I can wear this to work and go out to dinner and still smell fabolous.

This is a perfume for women who like green scents. The initial burst is resinous and almost balsamy, and then you get this wildflower like middle-note that is still quite astrigent. A foresty fragrance.

I love this fragrance! I first smelled it on a co-worker, who told me the name and didn't describe the bottle very well. I had to hunt down this perfume. I found an A.V. store in Orlando, and after a few squirts of the other perfumes, knew exactly which one my co-worker was wearing. I like very soft, fresh fragrances. I usually wear Issey M. and Marc Jacobs. This falls right in line with those fragrances. Really pleasant, beautiful smell.

Venezia is a very pretty and vibrant perfume. It is unobtrusive enough to wear to the office and would be a great everyday casual scent. Something about this reminds me of Tommy Girl though but I actually I prefer this over the Tommy since I dislike the Tommy so much. Despite the association with the Tommy, I decided to keep it anyway for those days when I need something easy and refreshing. Plus the bottle is very pretty.
Here are the notes
Bergamot, Lemon, Red Currant, Wisteria, Red Rose Petals, Jasmine, Florentine Orris Root, Waterlily, Sandalwood, Violet Plum, Violet Leaves.

I got a sample from a fellow MUAer and fell in love at first smell, Has blend of bergamont, lemon, red rose petals, jasmine, and velvety warm sandalwood, making this a fragrance to remember klike the classic and vibrant great city it was named after, smells heavenly, lovely box and and got a purse spray with it, wonderful fragrance

Reminds me of a Christiamn Diors Jadore. Very boring but also very safe as well. Watery and sweet.

I don't care for this fragrance. It's not a bad scent, it's just nondescript. Also, the bottle is way too big and cumbersome to use. You can hardly get your hands around it to pump the spray nozzle.

This is a not-too-expensive fragrance that really made me think twice about buying another perfume. I absolutely hate musky scents, or too spicy ones, so this is just right for special occasions. I got the gift set with 1.7 fl oz, an atomizer, and a body lotion for $45, which is great for me since I like flexibility. The scent starts of a bit citrusy, but is sweetened by some sort of soft floral, like rose or something. For everyday, I would probably like something more citrusy as a pick me up, so this will have to be saved for special occasions. A good buy, not over the top, and one of the best smelling ones I've smelled in a while.

This is way strong and perfumey. There are no notes that I can detect - just smells like generic perfume. Gave me a slight headache.

This is such a beautiful fragrance! It's a fresh feminie floral with a hint of musk to warm it up a bit. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous; looks great on your vanity counter. (the writing on the bottle says in flowing script: "Memorie di Venezia, dreamlike city of canals, light dances on water. Vibrant colors enchant and the music of the carnival delights.")
This certainly isn't "dirt cheap", but considering the amount given (52$ at Sephora for a 3.4 oz. of EDParfume, AND a purse spray!) it's a total bargain! Venezia's my new fragrance staple, and that's saying a *lot* since the last scent I was loyal to and liked this much was GAP's "Heaven": back in Jr. High about 10 years ago!
