What do reviewers say about Secret De Venus and Courtesan?
Some fragrances perform. Secret De Venus stays close, intimate sillage, powder-drydown, an animalic base that reads as memory rather than statement. The 1933 formula has that quality.Secret De Venus
There's a lot happening in here. Six top notes, four heart notes, nine base notes. But Courtesan doesn't throw everything at you at once. It unfolds in waves, spice first, then florals.Courtesan
