About this deal

Venera Cosmetics is a modern perfumery and distribution company for genuine branded fragrances since 1993.

Sadly, the new formulation is barely a very pale reflection of the original and smells enough like every other powdery, woody amber scent out there as to blend into the crowd entirely. Perhaps these notes, being the most delicate, were not preserved in my vintage bottle due to the effects of time. This seascape adventure captures the essence of warm sand, ocean breezes, and the serenity of the sea.There is something herbal, spicy-dry and mellow after the first spray, while the final outcome is fruity, rosey, delicately woody, slightly powdery, salty and ambery. This stunning beauty have floral notes, sweet notes, wood notes, dry notes, resin notes, amber notes along with the subtle fruity notes, aldehydes notes, pale musk notes and subtle fruity notes. New Dune opens up with a woodsy blast, so I can believe it when people say it can be unisex - that sharp rosewood can easily work for men. Makes me feel like I am on a milky beach lined by gently swaying white barked trees at early evening.

Only reviews that feature the label "Verified Review" have been checked to ensure that the author actually used or purchased the product.It reminds me of the Phil Elverum quote: "I am interested in what happens in the bottom of the lake at night.

Unfortunately, deteriorates into an albeit still-good, but overtly feminine, powdery perfume which maintains some of its opening attributes. It is the dark greenish ocean in chiaroscuro, with mineral salt notes that emerge surrounded by a beige fog and wood. I loved this one way back when it first came out but I never bought it - because there is nothing as bad as being swamped by a tidal wave of an "it" fragrance when getting on the bus. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Yet there is a coolness and freshness to it at the same time I imagine this could be worn all year round and make a perfect signature.

A grain of salt for necessity, a corner of the sky for infinity, a little witch's spice, dry vanilla for sensuality in abundance, desert rose for beauty. I was expecting something far more distinctive and jarring because of Dune's arid image and reputation, but instead elusive roundedness seems to be the name of the game. Alas, DUNE as I knew it is gone, but, what with the changes made in fine perfumery in the Millennium, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. On my skin it turns vanilla quite fast and stays that way until the very end, which is about 8+ hours.

Under no circumstances should the products of Perfume Parlour be mistaken for any other brand's products. I have the current version and while I don't know what it was 30 years ago, I can say it's beautiful now and unlike anything else I have. Dune’s characteristics remind me a lot of Lolita Lempicka and Obsession, intertwined with each other. This radiant, fresh and subtle fragrance captures a landscape where the sea meets the earth, with an ocean and a bouquet of flowers.

I'm going to pass on this one, because I just don't think it's worth the prize -- but points for individuality. Dune is a feminine, mystical like perfume that brings to mind Arabian sunny days in Sahara desert with its sandy, quiet dunes and mysterious nights under a magical black sky and countless stars that sparkle like diamonds. It seems like Francois Demachy loves adding plenty of aniseed on his reformulated versions of hypnotic poison and dune.
