Venenum is one of the six eaux de parfum L’Artisan Parfumeur gathered under the name Natura Fabularis in 2016. Daphné Bugey set three memories of India inside it: a spiced masala tea, steamed rice, a creamy sandalwood. The Latin name announces poison; the house speaks of a venom that makes the mouth water.
Three materials and nothing else: a masala tea, a rice, a sandalwood. Wikiparfum keeps to the same ones as the house.
Tea, rice, sandalwood
The masala tea opens, spiced and milky. The rice occupies the middle, steamed, almost floury. Sandalwood closes the fragrance, creamy, and it is the one the readings hear taking over at the end.
Masala tea
Masala tea is black tea brewed with milk and a blend of spices. The house names none of these spices individually.
What the house does not tier
No tiers are published. Readings describe a tea opening, a milky rice middle and a sandalwood that takes over at the end.
What the label declares
Twenty-one entries: denatured alcohol, fragrance, water, three ultraviolet filters, twelve regulated allergens — linalool, limonene, citronellol, coumarin, eugenol, citral, cinnamyl alcohol, cinnamal, geraniol, benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol, isoeugenol — and three colourings, a blue, a red, a yellow. Incenza serves a full disclosure of some forty entries, which names sandalwood oil and santalol.
