Spray this with a very light hand. Just the tiniest amount, and the scent will develop in the most surprising way. Spray too much and you’re stuck in a leaden cloud of a syrupy – flower – metal – urine mess of a stink that’s so awful it’ll make you reel. Tip: try applying a tiny amount of alien and then this on top. On me, this combo turns into freshly picked, tart fruit. Very weird.

vintage-y indeed…the drydown is even more awesome.

One of most wearable in our times and enjoyable vintages I came across, thanks to Lalionne’s generosity.
Fruity feminine chypre, something you wear with white suit and high heels, aristocratic vibe and good mood one, carnation with raspberry and woods with cassis are most prominent notes on me, I would gladly add FB of Varensia in my collection and the bottle is stunning indeed!

A masterpiece.
Incredibly inexpensive. Incredibly high quality smelling, in a soft old fashioned way.
Ingredients perfectly blended.
Everyone should have this in their collection.

This is my first large bottle perfume. That was about 12 years ago and a lady colleague gave it to me.Typical Chypre fruity. Impressed by the bottle, vintage style. The scent is old fashioned and wet may be for the oakmoss. It’s the kind that not attractive at first sniff at all and only hope the drydown can be better. Regret that i threw away the bottle which was really lovely.

I don’t remember how this smells but I wore this in secondary school(high school) in the 90s. It’s readily available on the island of Martinique and I remember purchasing this and more by the same brand on a day trip to that island because it was cheap, that was when Francs were used.

I bought this perfume without testing it before. First impression, I hated it, I was disapointed, but 2 hours after when I smelled my wrists, I fell in love with this perfume, so sweet, powdery. I often wear it.

If i ever become more experienced in picking out different notes i still imagine i will not be able to do it in this one. It does not smell fruity to me,not even grown-up fruity, and it does not smell floral to me either. It smells just unusual and superb! Bought it in the street when i was a small girl and was about to go to a seaside for the first time in ma life with my school. A lady selling these showed me a few boring mainstream perfumes which i readily refused, and then i decided it was time to cut it short and make my point clear before i lose patience. I said i wanted something like cinnamon. She produced this one which,truth be told, has nothing to do with cinnamon or spices at all. At least she realized i meant business and showed me extraordinarily great stuff to which i took immediately ad bought in a very good price. The bottle itself is so decorative, i like its style. Now i gave it to my sister who liked both the ottle and the juice, and the smell can still be felt inside. This is hard to describe,it is mysterious,not loud or invasive but quietly confident,and i have never ever seen anytthing similar again. Thumbs up for uncatchable,ilusive,hard-to-pin down Varensia!

I buy this prefume today, is a rare powdery woody smell, which is elegant and nice for cold days, or just for a lovely night. I get it from sale, so I bought 3 of 50.ml, honestly I can’t stop sniffing my wrist.
Many people say it smell’s like Rumba, is true when it drydown, but Rumba have a disgusting opening, which I hate,
But VARENSIA is lovely, it open nice an subtle, make me fell elegant and graceful. Excelent job Ulric de Varens…

Thanks to ailishlu i have the privilege to own this really rare scent. I can’t compare it with nothing else that i have test. It’s very sharp and bitter. I can feel strongly the oak moss and the carnation flower. It is classy and grown up smell which makes you thing of a very independent woman with a strong character. It’s different from everything that i have ever owned. Very distinctive and i think that it can be a unisex fragrance.

I have tested it today .
I’m surprised it has been launched in 1994 , because for me it is much more in the spirit of the 80’s ; like Knowing , White Linen or Quartz women . Which were not at all fashioned anymore in the 90’s.
It’s quite a stereotype of a Chypre on my opinion .
Not to wear on hot days, better on mature women.

Me encanta este perfume fue un regalo de mi unico y verdadero amor

It has nothing in common with “Gianni Versace” I have both of them and they smell completly different!
Versace is chypre and Varensia is bitter-sweet.

An inspired copy!!
a faithful copy but made with cheaper ingredients and available at a bargain price.
The distinctive signature of the original
“Gianni Versace by Versace”
the debut scent of the Italian fashion brand
and now discontinued
was recreated with Varensia by Ulric de Varens

I am extremely picky when it comes to selecting a perfume that suite my personal taste and smell. Varensia was absolutely gorgeous in smell and complimented my own body oils that most of my perfumes that I am currently use I am unable to smell on myself but get alot of compliments about the perfumes I use or wearing for the day. I still have my empty bottle and ever so often have a sniff of memories. Would love to find out if this is still on the market!

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.
