In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotVenus by Alen Mak is a rose-led floral built around Bulgarian rose, geranium, and a soft blur of floral notes. On skin it is likely to read as a classic, slightly green rose with a fresh spicy, aromatic edge, more garden rose than sugary rose. Because there is very little wear feedback available, it is best approached…

This scent behaves like fresh-cut red roses from a bouquet, offering a clean and natural floral profile that is ideal for casual spring or summer daytime wear.
