Simone Andreoli Venom - Secret of Shaman EDP

Description

Simone Andreoli Venom - Secret of Shaman EDP channels ancient Mayan ritual and Bufo Alvarius ceremony into scent. Vibrant saffron and dark, mouthwatering dates open the composition, warm and dry, before an intense heart of tobacco, black pepper, and spice takes hold. It settles into leather, vanilla, patchouli, and everlasting flower: hypnotic, dense, and built for a transformative, after-dark mood rather than daytime wear.

Scent Character

• Sweet: 30%
• Smoky, Leather & Resinous: 30%
• Spicy: 20%
• Woody: 20%

Translation: a spiced, resinous amber with real depth. Note the "Smoky, Leather & Resinous" accord here reflects the fragrance's tobacco, dark-woods, and leather notes rather than true agarwood, since no oud raw material appears in the published note breakdown.
