In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Shéliane by Detaille is an amber floral eau de toilette that blends bright Mediterranean citrus with antique spice and golden resins.

Vicky Tiel Venus offers a heavy dose of classic floral aldehydes mixed with bright citruses. It soon transitions into a rich, powdery heart of ylang ylang, mimosa, and iris, resting on a base of warm vanilla, benzoin, and heliotrope. It fits women who prefer vintage, bold, clean soapy profiles with a dense woody base.
