Venice Dolce Berry is a sweet, fruity fragrance with a dark, but tolerate undertone. The notes include the following:
Top Notes: Pink Plumberry, Apple Blossom, White Iris
Mid Notes: Venetian Raspberry, Red Apricot, Frosted Magnolia
Dry Notes: Blackberry Musk, Sandalwood Sugar, Vanilla Biscotti
Straight from the bottle, the only notes I can distinctly pick up are plumberry, apple blossom and maybe biscotti. It's actually blended very well and none of the notes really over-power the rest. In a way it reminds me of Midnight Dare from Victoria's Secret, which is also very dark and sensual, but still kind of fruity scent.
When it settles on my skin I smell mostly the blackberry, musk and sandalwood. With that said, I personally believe this is more of a nighttime scent and might be too strong for the day time.
Knowing that it was a limited edition scent, I purchased three lotions and two fine fragrance mists. Considering I have enough shower gels to last me for the next five years, I chose not to purchase any from this line. I wouldn't consider it one of my absolute favorites but would still rate it a decent 7/10.
Venice Dolce Berry was part of the limited edition Italy collection this past spring and went on sale for the Semi-Annual Sale, but there is still some left online here.

I liked Venice lotion in the bottle but once it was on my skin, not very pleasing. Not sure if it was my body chemestry or my nose not liking the musk and sandlewood. I liked the capri since it was a light and summery scent.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you that it does dry musky. I almost feel that it should not have been a summer scent especially considering that musk tend to go sour in the heat.
