| Secret de Venus Perfume
The name of Venus conjures up an image that defies description. The image is that of surreal, timeless beauty - beauty that is to be worshipped and revered, not lusted and defiled. When the House of Weil, launched Secret de Venus Perfume in 1945, it took Paris by storm. There was a lot happening in the world at that time. The Second World War was coming to its logical end. Myths of racial superiority and the 'white man's burden' were tumbling down like a house of cards.
In this incident-prone Europe, the launch of this perfume did not go unnoticed. It proved to be an immediate hit, especially with French women and the other European aristocratic milieu. And today, after all these years, it is still sought after. This is a perfume that has not only stood the test of time, but it has also consistently been popular with a plethora of age groups. In short it has survived. In the world of fashion and haute couture, fifty-nine years is not just three generations and an era gone by, it is considered nearly ante-diluvian and well and truly passe. For a perfume to have cut a swathe across time is well and truly remarkable. We are very proud to present this collectors' item - Secret de Venus Perfume, now available with us, a click of a mouse away.
Secret de Venus is a sultry perfume, which is mesmerizing, but never overwhelming. Its hues blend notes of spice, thyme, peach and black currant and a generous tone of citrus. Its floral notes denote bergamot, tuberose, lavender, jasmine and freesia, which come together beautifully with jasmine. Its base-notes speak of sandalwood and patchouli that make it ideal as eveningwear, particularly recommended in cool weather, where it lasts longest. This rich perfume comes in a bottle, which harks back to days when under-statement was the best statement. It is almost unassuming in its black and gold appearance - but pray do not underestimate its powers of seduction.
We present ourselves as those who are well and truly passionate about this perfume, and want to do all it takes to make it reachable and affordable to one and only. How else can we preserve its heritage? Can any other perfume match Secret de Venus in its femininity? There may be a few who differ, as wearing perfume is a very personal choice, and fashion is prone to subjectivism. However, all fashion gurus are unanimous in their positive assessment of Secret de Venus - that she is a true timeless classic.
