Simone Andreoli Venom Secret of Shaman: A Spiritual Fragrance for the Mystical and the Bold
An oriental spicy fragrance upon first spritz, there’s a sharp introduction to the scent thanks to the presence of black pepper, which captures attention right away thanks to its biting and warm elements. In an effort to balance out the spicy pepper is bergamot, which almost brightens up the fragrance with a subtle, citrusy lift.
As the fragrance evolves, we’re introduced to more woodiness, thanks to incense. This evokes the spiritual side of the scent and grounds it into a more mystical atmosphere, making it particularly calming for those who enjoy spiritual practices.
Incense can be quite strong, so to sweeten things up a bit is rose. It not only brings elegance, but also a softer and more floral side to the hard scent. Adding to the exoticness of the fragrance is cinnamon, which has a subtle gourmand-like sweetness, complementing both the incense and rose.
In reaching the base notes of the scent, it becomes an oud. This adds complexity and intensity to the fragrance. While the tonka bean adds an almost sweetness with its soft vanilla-like warmth, the patchouli balances out this sweetness with a deeper, and earthy, element, rounding up the scent as a mystically rich journey.
Embracing spiritual scents
Thanks to its multi-layered composition, the more adventurous type will not only appreciate the fragrance’s complexity, but also the journey it takes them on. Aside from the sense of spirituality it evokes, it’s also highly concentrated (it is an extrait de parfum after all), meaning that it will last for hours, all without being overpowering.
That said, if you enjoy lighter scents, then the combination of incense, oud, and spices may be too overwhelming, especially if you’re looking for something subtle to wear every day.
Olfactory Spirituality
A spiritual journey can be an intense one. If you’re looking for a scent to complement this transformation, then Simone Andreoli’s Venom Secret of Shaman is the one. A bold, complex and mystical fragrance, it’s the perfect aroma to tell the story of mystery, ritual, and spirituality.
That said, if you’re not looking to delve into the mysterious, then you may find this scent too intense, and it’s best left to those who enjoy deep, spiritual, and aromatic fragrances.
