I was waiting for a good day to open this bottle, and today was that day.
Chanel Paris-Venise Les Eaux de Chanel. I had a sample of this for a while, and the fresh neroli paired with a warm ambery vanilla really appealed to me. I like to wear ambery perfumes at this time of year, but wearing them daily can feel too heavy. Paris-Venise has a freshness, but also a warmth. It’s a bit of a snuggle but not like when you’re in a blanket and over-heating. It’s more like wearing a cardigan with holes in it, but the holes are cool and you paid a lot of money for them to be strategically there.
This is perfect for your cool co-worker who wears those ripped cardigans, uses the expensive shampoo, never leaves her desk without lipstick on (yes, even under her mask). It’s casual but never messy or unkempt.
