SORCELLERIE VENUS IN FLEURS REVIEWS
Reddit: Now, this, this is a love affair for me. Venus in Fleurs is unexpected, fragrant, and addictive. I get ripe, juicy mango, and fresh garden florals. One time, I was starving, and I bought an ataulfo mango at the store and literally devoured it as soon as I got in my car; pulling away the peel and taking whole bites. I had no napkins and my face and hands were covered in sticky juice, which, in a car is horrifying and poorly thought out. But imagine I was doing this next to a bubbling lagoon on a hot summer day, deep in a tropical rainforest and that's what Venus in Fleurs is like. It's humid, and rich, and fragrant, and fruity, with lush florals coming through to balance it all out. This is the scent I chose to wear to that wedding I talked about above, and I felt like a magical summer fairy that day; wearing bright florals, gold butterfly clips in my hair, and Venus in Fleurs to compliment it all. I will likely grab a bigger size of this before it ceases to exist forever but I'm happy with my 2.5 ml spray for now. 4 carnivorous plants/5
Reddit: All right, I take it back. This one smells like Florida. HUMID, lol. This is definitely more floral than peaches. The jasmine really stands out. It's very fragrant, but not indolic to me. Even though jasmine is not my favorite floral, I really appreciate this one because it smells like walking by an actual jasmine plant. The greens (carnivorous plants?) and humidity make me feel like I'm perhaps in a green house. The mango sweetens things up, and I do smell it more in the drydown! But this is primarily a green white floral for me. Don't get this one expecting a fleurmand. If you like Sorce's style, but you prefer a white floral to gourmand, this is really nice. I appreciate it! This is very well done, even though it's not my typical style. I like this one a lot more than I thought I would actually. Longevity: about 3 hours. 3.5/5
Reddit: Absolutely delicious jasmine, naked in a greenhouse eating mangos, makes me want to lick myself lol.
Reddit: Sweet and very ripe mangos! At first the jasmine pulled the most prominently, but it settled down along side the mango. This scent is humid, which is really neat to achieve in a perfume. It reminds me of hot summer days and cicada's buzzing. I have no idea what carnivorous plants smell like, but it does have a plant-likeness to it. As it dries it becomes less of a fresh fruit, but a bit warmer. I still get the mango, but it's not as bright. I think it may be the vanilla toning things down, but it never outright smelled like vanilla (to my delight). The mango and florals are balanced perfectly, never competing but complimenting each other. Medium throw, medium/light longevity Overall: Sitting in a greenhouse enjoying a juicy mango, and it's so dang humid.
Reddit: AAAAHHH!!! MANGO!!!!!! YES!!!!! I'm so excited about how much mango I get from the opening. The jasmine pairs so well with the mango. It definitely smells humid. The mango starts to calm down n the plants come out more. This is funky! I think I like this! 6/10
