This is a beautiful blend of savory ambergris and caramel mixed with a touch of spicy and bitter notes such as cardamom and galbanum. It is not too mellow nor too spicy, but just perfect. Very long lasting with a reasonably good sillage.

Veni is a somewhat of a dry gourmand — lots of cardamom to open with woods, cinnamon and saffron in the heart, touched by a lick of caramel and salt. The woods play like dry guaiac and raspy cedar, perhaps what some are reporting as Iso E Super.
Warming to a soft sweetness in the drydown that delivers the feeling of cosiness while never becoming syrupy, this is a comfortable caramel I can wear without it becoming cloying throughout the course of the day.
Dry woody, spicy, salty gourmand. I find Veni very enjoyable.

ouch, it’s seriously bad, it smells like a recycling idea executed without inspiration. Some pleasant notes but everything is drowned in a messy composition.
Like a mix of three perfumes in one (1899 Hemingway+Sauvage+X).
Terribly unpleasant.
Excalibur – :
EXTREMELY LUXURY FRAGRANCE. This is the first thing that comes to my mind. A high quality perfume with a perfect blend of Cardamom and Ambergris. All notes are mixed meticulously and both longevity and projection are awesome. I like to wear it in cold seasons the most. I wish it was cheaper.

pffooo..i cant’ say much about this stuff besides a 5 minute experience but those 5 minutes were enough and maybe i can scare off at least one person… It is rarely that a fragrance is truly ofputting for me that i just have to wash it of but this one does it. Truly an unbearable and chemical smell that is just to much. I,m even unable to give it some time to develop in the hope that it becomes something good. It’s that unpleasant.
sorry, besides it not being my taste i cannot see an art in this. The chemicals in it are not hidden enough to be good art.

This is my first fragrance from Histoires de Parfums, I received it at a gift. It’s not very often I wear it, and the few times I do I remember why I rarely put it on. As others have said, I get cardamom and a bit of cinnamon..and cardamom…and CARDAMOM. I detect something else in here as well, though I am not familiar with the smell. To my nose it’s just a synthetic fragrance, and not in a good way and certainly not worth the price tag of $185 for 60ml.
It doesn’t smell “bad”, I have enough fragrances that I dislike more than this one…it’s just nothing special. Longevity and sillage are average, and I have never received a compliment on it. I might wear this to work on occasion, but that’s the only use I see for Veni right now.

As a huge fan of HdP I’m extremely dissapointed by the whole “Veni/Vidi/Vici” line. “Veni” opened good with a decant amount of cardamon and cinnamon. I also got a marvelous caramel, at that point I thought I found another good spicy amber fragrance, but it was all downhill from there – it gets messy, it gets synthetic and it fades away within 3 hours.
In all honesty – after testing the whole regular HdP line I am amazed how can they come out with something like this. I’ll stick to “Ambre 114”.

Iso-E-Super appears to be purposely employed rather liberally in the Veni, Vidi, Vici Editions Rares collection from Histoires de Parfums. This entry, Veni, reminds me vaguely of creations such as Jesus del Pozo In Black and By Kilian Back to Black (or is that Back in Black?), except that this one omits the cherry and licorice (details, details…). The style is similar in other regards. The composition of Veni also strikes me as similar to a couple of the regular HdP line-up perfumes… Maybe a cross between two. Let’s see, how about: 1969 and 1804. I’m not sure, actually.
Lots of dark wood, spices, some sweetness, but above all: tons of Iso-E-Super and ambroxan! Yes, indeed, no one will fail to take note of your presence when you wear this high-projection, radiant blend! J’arrive! And upon departure: Veni!
After a while I grow weary of the aromachemical dominance. No bottle for me. I came, I sniffed, I did not buy.
igor.litvinov – :
P.S. This is quite close to the other HDP i.e. 1969, quite similar to each other. Revolte more peachy, this one’s more vanilla.

I was lucky enough to get a bottle of this for next to nothing – and it’s turned into the best blind buy for me ever. How Should I put this..?
“AMBERGRIS PERFECTION” – that’ll do.
This gorgeous perfume is as soft as it is sharp. It is as feminine as it is masculine. It is also more complex than it sounds.
At first, the opening was an enjoyable SHARP blast of Cardamon, Cinnamon & Lavender. Soon after, the beautiful vanilla and caramel (almost like a honey type of caramel) with the saffron appeared – and I’m sure I also smelt a hint of violet (personally). The dry down melds all the above notes together with a beautiful blend of patchouli and musk, and it’s also quite woody and doesn’t ever lose it’s spice on me. And the Ambergris?? It’s there from start to finish driving the rest of the notes….it is stunning, to put it simply.
On my skin, Veni seems to evolve over time on my skin (and it does take it’s time – this stuff seems to last a good 6-8 hours on my skin). I feel very pleased that my chemistry seems to adore this perfume and I will wear this both in Winter and Summer.
Spicy, radiant, complex, different and addictive. If you have the opportunity to test this gem, I strongly recommend you do.

very sharp and complex ,I think this is good for people age above 30.

I guess none of this series of perfumes is working out for me. Veni, like its sisters Vici and Vidi, has way too much ambroxan and/or Iso-E-Super for me to be able to like it. That ethereal synthetic note is so intense that it simply clobbers what could have been a gorgeous spicy perfume.
What I love about Veni is that the cardamom is intense, and I go nuts for cardamom. It’s also a bit smokey, reminds me of Malabah, except better sillage and no tea. As it dries down, Veni starts to resemble a chewy ginger cookie, and I love those! At this stage, the ambroxan is much more tolerable because it blends better with spice than it does cucumber, angelica, or other fresh notes like in its sister fragrances.
While I like Veni best of the three, I still would not want a full bottle. As I said with the other two…if ambroxan and Iso don’t bother you, it’s worth sampling.

Complex fragrance that goes through several transformations until it settles into its final warm, musky and spicy form.
Last quite a long time too, which is a huge plus considering the price tag.
BOXP – :
I keep thinking about this line that was somewhere in that Perfumes guide about how whenever you have a collection like this there will be a winner and two duds. In my opinion, this is the winner from this collection. The other two smell fine, but this is the only one that smells worth the price tag to me. I expect though that someone who preferred lighter scents might disagree with that statement though.
uir491speagoessenda – :
oh my. this is worth every penny! At first I thought it was just another amber-based fragrance, to me a little similar to Cavalli ‘s new fume. Started of really strong and I could detect it has got loads of power and sillage. Nothing fancy then but as I got to the drydown, there was a surprise there. The fragrance got really deep and there is a nice woody support to it. Quite intense on the musk too. It is a must have, I gotta say that.
Although aoud is not listed there, somehow I got that Montale feeling, although this one is way softer and very feminine.
Another surpise after 2-3 hours into the fragrance…it is almost gone 🙁
