Veni
Veni by Histoires de Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom, cinnamon, galbanum and lavender, moves into carnation, saffron and guaiac wood and dries down to vanilla, toffee, patchouli, musk, ambergris and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Carnation Spicy, clove-like floral. Old-school and a bit peppery.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Toffee Buttery burnt sugar. Denser and chewier than caramel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
