I recently experienced the captivating essence of Farmacia SS Annuniziata 1561 Venere (translated into English it means Venus),  which debuted in 2021 in celebration of the house’s 460th anniversary commemorating its original opening in 1561. The evolution of a city’s beloved apothecary has transformed it into a cutting-edge pharmacy without losing its charm and history. In 2006, the company expanded its skincare range by introducing a line of fragrances designed to complement its existing products and enhance the overall user experience.

Venere boasts an alluring blend of vanilla, fruity nectarous sweetness, musky powderiness, white floral delicacy, woody depths, and the sensual warmth of amber wood.  Wearing Farmacia SS Annunziate 1561 Venere, be prepared to be captivated as it unleashes an inspiring, stirring aura and develops on the warmth of the skin. It begins with an uplifting, vibrant tang reminiscent of nature’s awakening on a dewy morning. Its fruity top notes fuse with luxurious, sweet floral as the essence unfolds, creating a lovely, uplifting, captivating aroma. As the tapestry of vibrant and elegant floral intertwines, it fuses with the warm embrace of sensual, soft, and powdery whispers, blossoming into a symphony of scents that dance upon the skin, awakening the senses to a world of beauty and grace.

Featured Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Geranium, Honeysuckle, Peach, Jasmine, White Musks, Vanilla, Amber Woods.

Disclosure: My review is based on a sample of Venere from Fragrance Vault opinion, and my words are my own.

    I haven’t smell this fragrance but by reading the article, I bet it’s spicy fruity and aromatic (beautiful scent).

  • Diana D says:

    Wow! This place has been in business since 1561?! Why have I never heard of it???
    Venere sounds beautiful with all those lovely floral notes. Peach is a nice touch – I really like warmer weather fragrances that have peach in them.
    I would love to explore this fragrance house more to see their other offerings. In quickly checking out their website, there are several that have captured my interest!

  • phuongmtran says:

    This is the way I like florals, fruity and combined with musks and amber woods. Venere sounds delightful. I live in CA, USA.

  • janelle22 says:

    I LOVE all stone fruit in fragrance so the peach is drawing me in. This description “vanilla, fruity nectarous sweetness, musky powderiness, white floral delicacy, woody depths, and the sensual warmth of amber wood” also features all of my favorite accords so I would love to experience this. I live in New Haven, CT

  • Keyra says:

    Sandy really writes a nice review and history. I love powdered fruit perfumes
    I would love to try Venere

  • chrisskins says:

    Venere sounds so perfectly feminine with peach and beautiful flowers. Farmacia SS Annunziata’s fragrance is described as, “captivating”. I would love to try this. I live in NY.

  • KingLemon says:

    This sounds like a wonderfully composed fragrance – great for spring. It seems sweet, but soft and elegant with the vanilla and woody notes. New York, USA.

  • sav17 says:

    I’ve enjoyed many fragrances from Farmacia SS Annunziata over the years, but I have not tried Venere yet. It sounds feminine and beautiful. I loved Sandi’s comment that the opening is “reminiscent of nature’s awakening on a dewy morning”. I also love that the warm base notes lend a soft and powdery aspect to the fragrance. I would love to own a bottle of Venere. Thank you, Sandi, for the beautiful review, and thank you to Fragrance Vault for the generous giveaway. I am located in the USA.

  • Sherin Thomas says:

    Wonderful descriptions from how this has been desribed. I would like to get my nose on to this. From PA,USA

  • clarchik says:

    I am in the US. I am curious to explore the mandala of fruity and floral notes in this fragrance

  • opalbear says:

    This sounds like the perfect blend to welcome spring. Soft, cozy, beautiful, sweet and welcoming. Honeysuckle!! I’m so excited to try this and thank you for the chance to win. I am in USA.

  • Freddie S says:

    This one immediately struck a bit of a personal chord, as I’ve always fancied my MUCH better half as a personification of Venus. (Yeah yeah insert barfing emoji here, whatever lol) The scent itself, with sweet florals, fruity top notes and amber sounds like it perfectly reflects her image! All that coming from a house with such an interesting history! Submitted with intrigue from Ohio, USA. 🙂

  • Amanda32828 says:

    Although I was unaware of this fragrance house until I read this review by Sandi Lundberg, I love all the different notes combined in this fragrance and its history. Moreover, I was impressed by the fact that they have been around for so many years, with a history in their local community dating back to 1561 with the opening of the apothecary store by Domenico Brunetti. I visited their website, but the truth is that I would love to go in person to see this excellent establishment offering such a great variety of personal care items and perfumy. Thank you for introducing this brand and the opportunity to enter this draw, commenting from Orlando, FL, USA.

  • WillRhodes says:

    I follow a perfume blogger that went to Esxense in Milan for the perfume expo and went to Florence afterward to visit this incredible, historic pharmacy. She had so many high praises for their fragrances, and mentioned how beautiful Venere is…
    We have very similar taste in fragrance, so I know I would love this one most definitely! Sounds so elegant and easy to wear. Love it.
    -Chicago

  • EmmaZF says:

    This sounds absolutely beautiful – I live in Boston and as the weather warms, I am eager to test some of these delicate florals. Jasmine never fails me, and I’ve been looking for a peach fragrance that isn’t too cloying. Fingers crossed that this ticks all the boxes!

  • redwheelbarrow says:

    I have been suddenly craving fruity florals which is not my normal wheelhouse and this sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m constantly telling myself I need to look into this house but for some reason have never done that. This sounds amazing for Spring!

  • Z R says:

    I’m definitely interested! I love any fragrance that features peach notes. I’m in the US.

  • madamepeace says:

    I’m curious about Farmacia SS Annunziate 1561 Venere, and its debut around the arrival of the apothecary’s 460th anniversary. That seems monumentous and like maybe the perfume itself captures celebration. Maybe even sweet and bubbly like champagne from the vanilla and peach and honeysuckle. It sounds sophisticated and sensual. I bet it’s delicious. From OR, USA.

  • FragranceIsMe says:

    The notes in Venere sound quite beautiful. I believe the beauty conveyed via the inspiration of this creation would be a perfect match for my beautiful wife 🙂

  • extremetraveler says:

    I don’t know why, but as I’ve aged as a man, I’m more emboldened to wear geranium and white florals, especially as Spring begins to stretch her legs – but enveloping those in a ripe citrus, peppery, vanillic spice… that seems like the perfect cloud to bask in on a cool, sunny spring evening.

  • Naomi says:

    I know fruity/floral/musky fragrances have been called unoriginal, but the truth is, I am a big fan, and they truly appeal to the senses! I agree with the article that it can be associated with beauty and grace, which are wonderfully feminine characteristics. And I do love Sandi’s description of it like a symphony dancing on the skin… Thank you for this generous draw. I live in NH, USA.

  • yvree says:

    I have yet to try anthing from the hojse. The decription of powder musk will always draw me in. Excited to see peach as I have been craving a peach scent. I live in the US

  • Sngash says:

    Thank you Sandi. Venere sounds quite powerfully seductive and I can imagine being enfolded by that intoxicating vanilla and musk. I’m in USA

  • donovanreich says:

    Intrigued by the use of honeysuckle as I do love the natural scent profile of the flower. Thanks for sharing! I reside in Arizona.

  • Trinity33 says:

    Venere sounds like an intoxicating feminine fragrance. I love the peach-vanilla-musk combination in perfume. Supporting notes like jasmine, honeysuckle and geranium reinforce the fresh and flirty aspect. I’m in the US.

  • Teresa C says:

    I adore Farmacia SS fragrances, even though I can never spell the name of the company correctly! Venere sounds like a gorgeous feminine comfort scent to me with all the soft delicacy! I live in the USA

  • mmerline says:

    The image of Venus is so recognizable that makes for an obvious source of inspiration. I like how Farmacia SS Annunziata interpreted it here as a powdery fruity-floral, with geranium and woods to temper the sweetness. Classy bottle too!

    I’m in the USA.

  • deeshla says:

    I love the sensual and luxurious sound of this perfume along with the story behind it. I would love to try it! I’m in Georgia, USA.

  • NewSmells says:

    Really enjoyed the review and the description. Venere sounds incredibly well balanced and am really interested in the honeysuckle note. Used to see them everywhere and seemed to be really rare round my neighborhood nowadays.
    From USA.

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I didn’t realize this house’s long history. I also didn’t realize that fragrances were relatively new to this line. I’ve tried a few fragrances years ago and remember they do powdery very well. This sounds amazing. Thank you Fragrance Vault! USA.

  • lesmes100 says:

    Okay color me very intrigued. First of all this house has been circulating since 1561!? Wow! Venere sounds like a delighful floral scent with touch of fruity sweetness & woodiness. It sounds alluring, warm and luxurious. I enjoy peach in fragrances especially in warmer months so I am very curious on getting my nose on this. Loved the description of this scent and how the writer described it as vibrant and captivating…it definitely has captivated me already! I had never heard of this house until a few days ago while watching a YouTuber post about her time at Esxence in Italy. Looking forward to exploring this house. I live in Texas USA.

  • David Furman says:

    This sounds purely citric and down right juicy…just in time for spring. I like the history of the brand and its artisan roots dating back hundreds of years. That’s deep and I’m quite sure their creation is as well !!! Would love to add this to my collection and see for myself how the notes intertwine and dance off my skin. From Jacksonville, NC.

  • foreverscents says:

    I love fragrances that could be described as dewy. The notes of Venere sound both uplifting and luxurious. Honeysuckle, jasmine, and peach–along with vanilla–well, it just doesn’t get any better than that. I would love to tru fragrance from such a venerable institution like Farmacia SS Annunziata 1561.
    I live in the USA.

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the great review.

    This scent sounds like stepping into a lush Italian garden in full bloom. The opening of citrus freshness instantly transports one to the Mediterranean coast. But what really captivates me are the floral heart notes – delicate hints of jasmine and rose that evoke images of blooming flowers under the warm Italian sun.

    This brings to ming the movie Call Me By Your Name

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Michael Prince says:

    Farmacia SS Annunziate 1561 Venere sounds like a beautiful fruity floral capturing the sweet fruity qualities as well as the powdery floral nuances that’s enveloped in a beautiful resinous Vanilla. This is my first time hearing about and learning of this house. I am from the USA.

  • junling21 says:

    I think it is so crazy that a shop could still be open from 1561! You could almost say that you are spraying yourself with history with this fragrance! Florals, vanilla and fruits sounds like the perfect combination. I live in Florida, USA.

  • Thebluelotus says:

    Amazing! Venere sounds beautiful with all those lovely floral notes and this sounds like a wonderfully composed fragrance.
