Venetian Girl
Armaf Venetian Girl Eau de Parfum 100ml dates from 2023, and it is aimed at anyone who wants a pink fruity floral without the heavy sweet base that usually comes attached to one. The opening is tart and lively. Lychee gives it a pale, almost rosewater sweetness, rhubarb is the clever inclusion, sour and green and stalky in a way that cuts the sweetness immediately, pear adds a soft watery juiciness, and bergamot brightens the lot with bitter citrus. The rhubarb is what makes those first minutes worth paying attention to, and it is not a material you meet often in this part of the market.
The heart is a clean bouquet. Rose carries it, fuller and rounder than the fruit above, peony adds a crisp watery lightness, and lily of the valley adds a cool, dewy green note that keeps the whole bouquet looking fresh rather than ripe. It is a pretty middle, and pretty in a restrained way rather than a loud one, which makes it far easier to wear at a desk than most fruity florals manage. The base is where this one parts company with its neighbours. There are two materials at the bottom and no more: musk, soft and clean and close to the skin, and vetiver, dry and rooty with a faint smokiness to it. That vetiver gives the drydown an unexpected seriousness and is the reason the scent does not dissolve into generic sweetness after two hours.
It suits spring and summer, daylight and the office, projects modestly and lasts respectably without ever demanding attention. It reads feminine throughout. The house behind it is Sterling Perfumes Industries of Dubai, established in 1998, which introduced Armaf in 2010.
