Varensia

I had this one back in 1999 and had almost forgotten its name by now but its beautiful fragrance is still in my memories. I had only remembered the bottle now so when I saw it in fragrantica's database I instantly recognised the bottle and clicked to add it in my list.

I got this perfume from a friend of my husband when his old mother died. That friend said about this perfume that it was the ripe scent of a mature woman. I completely agree with him. Fruitful chypre in the style of the 70s-80s-early 90s. All in detail, like a baroque still life. Gives pleasure.

really love the bitterness in this one.the smell is really rare (I don't remember I smelled anything similar before) and vintagy as well. love it on wool tops and sscarves.

When I want to see whether I would like to own a particular scent, I read the Cons section. 9 out of ten times I go, 'Yep. That's something I would go for.'

Fruity floral chypre bombshell. I can imagine this being beautiful back in the 90s before perfume budgets tanked and mainstream perfumes had naturals bolstered by aromachemicals. As it is, I can still detect a symphonic progression from top, heart, and base notes. For the price point still worth it for the bottle.
