Veleno Perfume, 20ml (EDP)

The scent itself is 5/5. Very powerful and complex, a genuine EDP that lasts. The vanilla and saffron blend is superb. However, the external delivery box was slightly dented when I received it. Thankfully the bottle was intact. Please improve handling during transit.

This is marketed as a bold scent, and it truly is. I usually prefer florals, but the saffron and nutmeg here give it a luxurious, warm depth that works perfectly in the evening. It's strong and commanding, making it perfect for a night out. I love how the amber note lingers on my clothes the next day.

I needed a sophisticated EDP for evening office parties and networking events. Veleno is exactly that. It opens with that beautiful cardamom spice and settles into a creamy sandalwood and vanilla base. The projection is moderate but the longevity is excellent. Easily lasts 6-8 hours on skin. Total value for money for a premium feel.

The initial spray is quite potent and spicy, but wait for the dry down�it's creamy, warm, and intensely addictive. The vanilla here isn't cloying; it's deep and rich, blending beautifully with the amber. Smells expensive. I wear it mostly for indoor gatherings.

I was looking for a long-lasting, heavy fragrance for winter evenings and this fits the bill perfectly. It's sweet from the vanilla but grounded by the woody sandalwood, making it very balanced. I saw this recommended by a friend and I am so glad I bought it. Highly sophisticated smell.
