I have an almost full bottle barely used, just without the packaging. If anyone is interested in a swap please contact! Le Labo or Diptique would be an ideal swap if possible!

When you make the analogy between food and perfumery, there is always the danger of you being between the quality and characteristics of a caviar type of product and a McDonald’s type of product. If you have the name and power of a Dior it is still possible to sell it or at least not have as much finantial loss. Now if you are an L’Artisan Parfumeur, which does not have this prestige and is not so coveted, this is an even bigger problem.
Wearing 32 Venenum i can see that this collection has perfumes that do not stink or smell, do not decide whether they will be safe or if they will be risky, if they will shamelessly copy other ideas of the market or if they will sound as innovative variations of ideas that people already know. In addition, the perfumes do not form a cohesive concept and in the case analyzed here there is not even a relationship between the name and concept.
What the heck does Poison have to do with India, cereal and chai? By the way, what cereal has to do with chai? It is as if someone had given the name, another person given the notes and the perfumer had been forced to come up with a concept that would please these people. Considering that there were 32 interactions, it is a creation that gave a lot of work – and yet it has resulted in something unsatisfactory.
Venenum does not decide whether it wants to be a gourmand or whether it wants to be an Oriental, whether it wants to be exotic or comfortable. In doubt it shoots everywhere and the end result is the same as when you go to the ice cream shop, take all possible flavours and then turn into a mess of flavors – delicious, but difficult to identify what is what.
The brand seems to refer to itself as to its group companies as to market competitors. The basic idea of cardamom, Chai and Sandalwood is derived directly from the Bvlgari Omnia, 2003. On top of that it is build a more exotic side that points to a rose and some incense similar to what Penhaligon’s did in the 2003 Malabah perfume. In order to give the final touch to the mess they added a roasted gourmand accord similar to what L’Artisan did in Noir Exquis, with the only difference being that it is attenuated in its sweetness and intensity so that the similarity is not perceived at first – but as the perfume evolves on the skin it is what remains.
Nothing talks to anything in Venenum and I cannot consider it positive that its perfume is pleasant because that is the basic aspect that a perfume should cover. For such a project, or you decide to be risky or safe, trying both creates something that will get beaten, sell a little and have great chances of being discontinued. Venenum does not work as a sandalwood perfume, it does not work as chai perfume and does not work as a gourmand perfume. And it has little to do with the concept of an imaginary garden – in fact, it was so imaginary that it does not even refer to the garden. Very poorly built.

I do smell spicy chai!
To me the chai is neither particularly realistic nor gourmand, just warm spice on a bed of sandalwood.
Sadly 32 Venenum becomes uncomfortably sour after about half an hour on my skin. It stays acrid all throughout the entire dry down.
Other than that it is a well-made, moderate to long lasting blend I wish worked better for me. Sillage is moderate.
I also don’t get why Fragantica classifies 32 Venenum as an Oriental Vanilla? I get the oriental, just not the vanilla.

Straight up Chai latte + gingerbread. Really lovely but too foody for me to wear…

cf L’Artisan Parfumeur’s website:
Fragrance Notes: Masala Chai, Rice, Sandalwood
So the spices, tea and milk listed here stand for the chai tea and are not to be considered separately, so the masala chai icon – which exists in fragrantica’s notes – should be used here to avoid misinterpretation …
and where does the bread note come from when it should be rice?
Venenum is the hot and spicy masala chai tea you would love to sip when coming in from the chilly outside, cupping your mug to warm your fingers and inhaling the fragrant steam. Joint by the sandalwood this is such a cozy perfume, perfect for this time of the year and the colder months to come.

Does go on spicy and dry down to a sansalwood, but a dirty sandalwood. Don’t know why but I’m getting the same vibe I get from L’artisan al Oudh. Hmmm

There’s no bread or milk here, not unless they’ve been set on fire and burnt to cinders. Venenum starts intriguingly spicy but within a few minutes it took an acrid turn. Within a half hour it had calmed down to a rather unremarkable sandalwood with a hint of spice. Disappointing.

Smells like semisweet chai with cookie on the side with sandalwood slowly emerges (and eventually dominates) <3

Rich, spicy scent. I’m not really sure what I’m looking for here. Bread? Milk? I guess I could get bread or rice at a stretch. Still not seeing the milkiness or the sandalwood. Chai latte or gingerbread man or spice cake.

Is Venenum meant to be eaten, or to be a poison ? Is it wood burnt to ashes, or your comforting tea on rainy afternoons ?
In spite of its composition, Venenum does not arouse a feeling of cosiness. It admittedly has a trendy vibe (imagine drinking a chai latte in a cool bar with the typical fashionable furniture made of raw timber), but its spices prevent it from being reduced to a well-mannered scent. It’s perfectly crafted, but it seems to verge on untidiness at times.
Apart from that, this fragrance is rich, long-lasting,and steady.
