I recently had my first opportunity to smell (and purchase) some fragrances from a house called Dr. Vranjes, of Venice. It is a name I had seen a few times before, but as I had no idea were to find the products and had no recollection of opinions about it, I gave it little thought.
Having smelled some of the scents at a local store of some repute, Gump's, here in San Francisco, I found myself looking for information about them. I learned from their website that they make some room scents and a couple of lines of personal scent of about six offerings each, and that the house was established in Venice in 1983. There were few other details.
I have come to feel that these scents, while simple, seem to be made of good quality materials; they also impress me as being well-constructed and well-balanced.
I would like to know more, and so I am asking any Basenoters who read this post to contribute to this thread with further information and opinions. I would like to go back to the store where I found them and sniff the rest of the ones in stock there, but I felt that three in one visit (Ambra e Iris, Bergamotto e Mirto, and Zagara e Patchouli) were all I could honestly handle with due care and attention.
Thanks in advance to all of you who care to respond to this thread.
