"Gemma Veneris' signature is second to none. Tenacious, she asserts the one who wears it with a subtle imprint. Remanent, textured, it carries a felted, unctuous originality. A disheveled bias, a trail full of elegance and sensoriality. Gemma Veneris is vivacious, intense, feverish, addictive." - a note from the brand. "I had in mind a very feminist woman who thinks that she is worth as much as a man but nevertheless claims and displays through her accessories an assumed femininity. It thus seemed to me interesting to juxtapose a masculine structure with a feminine structure. The masculine structure gives pride of place to woody notes, especially a play of several sandalwood notes, sandalwood being perhaps the most feminine of woods by its creamy and milky facet, but it is enhanced with very characteristic ambery woody notes. The feminine structure is more classic = pink - jasmine accord, drawn at the head by a virile galbanum which responds in the background to the virility of the patchouli leaves, which is very assumed." - Karine Chevallier, the perfumer.
