Smells remarkably similar to Pineapple Vintage.

This is a spectacular scent! Not in a way that it’s loud and attention grabbing, but in a subtle, tasteful way.
The smell is woody – warm, sunny even, but with strong marine accord and something deliciously tasty and unusual.
Firstly, I thought it was the birch, because this is the sweet smell of birch and birch sap I am used to smelling in northern Europe. There is this sweet accord of almost pillow-like soft creamy moss and a fantastic smell of something remotely fruity. I just now noticed the green apple in the composition. The green apple smell couldn’t be further from the chemical baby shampoo “green” smell we have all gotten accustomed to, but rather the smell of a freshly pressed juice of green apples. Delicious. Black pepper and patchouli are barely there, and rather add in dimension to the scent itself, making the soft fruity edges a bit more masculine.
The overall vibe is relaxed, soft and confident. I fell in love with this scent, it’s a masterpiece in my opinion. Special mention should be made about the bottle, which is stunning and a work of art in itself.

Update:
Ok.After wearing it for about 2 weeks,have to say VB shares base similarities with aventus (a woody citrusy base close to mancera cedrat bois,aventus and other colognes is this category).
But have to say that this is not as close as i said it was to Aventus in my previous review and have to admit that its not another Aventus Clone!
Considering this,its has obvious woody,citrusy and ambery vibes that makes it unique.I got no pineapple there.Apple,Lemon,Bergamot,musk and birch,black pepper as woody citrusy basewith some hints of earthy notes which comes from oakmoss and patchouly.I believe that ambery like note is related to ambergris(accord or note?) not amber because its darker and less sweet.
Anyway its not a bad one.longevity and sillage both are moderate to low but price tag is what im not sure about it.Packaging and Bottle are things that are way better than other niche houses.removing the cap is hard and pulling it up cause damage ring base of the cap which is connected to the atomizer and bottle.
This is such a scent that no one can say i don’t like it.A generic and pleasant smelling cologne with nice niche quality which is the goal that other niche houses like Creed are approaching.
6.5/10

pale copy of aventus without any depth.tried some other works of this house and found them to be a copy of other houses successful works.seems like they are just packing others work in luxuryious decorative bottles.
the main problem is they dont give you any info about the noses working for them which is odd!that means they’ll not inform you about their master noses if they really exist!lets hope they dont use GC Mass Spectroscopy!

The most beautiful fragrance I have ever had the joy of smelling. Classy, elegant, clean, fresh and sexy. I just love it!

What a beautiful fragrance! It is a great, energetic, masculine scent that I unfortunately, as a 20-year old, cant pull off easely, which makes me sad, because I have gotten so many compliments with this one. Literally, the three times I wore it, Venetian Blue was more complimented than all of my other fragrances this year combined (excluding Armani Code). It starts off fresh and citrusy, with dominant apple and lime note, gets kind of synthetic for some time (which is the most complimented part of the fragrance, idk why). This part is like a luxurious version of a certain Nivea roll-on antiperspirant in a dark blue bottle that got discontinued. Funny thing about that: my girlfriend had a habbit of saying that a 5$ antiperspirant was better than my fragrances. When she smelled Venetian Blue, she couldnt believe it, and was smitten by it! She kept sniffing me all day.
In the end, the moss note comes up and stayes there as long untill the end, which comes after about 10h for 1 spritz (but hey, I once got 24h for light blue, so dont take my skin as a reference).This mature and masculine juice is packed in a beautiful bottle made in style of Venetian decorative glass, but a part of what made the expirience of visiting the store in Verona is decor of the store itself. So calming and beautifully arranged, it got me in love with the brand. Cant wait to get old enough so I can wear this!
PS. If you are ever in Venice, visit their Flagship store. You wont regret it!

This is, essentially, an aquatic version of Aventus. Although not mentioned in the notes above, the company lists pineapple in the top notes, and although it’s there, more prominence is given to the apple, lemon and bergamot, making for a sharper opening. It also has a more spicy vibe but there’s no doubt that it carries the Aventus DNA. It doesn’t have the depth of Aventus because of the lack of florals and the aquatic elements make this more translucent, but if you’re looking for a quality alternative then this might serve you well. It’s certainly better than many of the cheap, synthetic Aventus clones that have appeared of late.
Aventus + Acqua di Gio = Venetian Blue
I get reasonable longevity, however, I wished it projected for longer. Projection and silage are good to start with but it does die back to a skin scent too quickly, which is a shame.
Overall though, I like this, it’s presented well too with the lovely Murano glass bottle. Good effort.
