Profumeria Franco

Visited Venice during Carnival season and stumbled upon this shop which hosts a bevy of fine beauty products.
Everyone in the shop was very well dressed and very happy to assist.
Purchased a beautiful fragrance, their signature line in a hand blown glass bottle.
Amazing scent, I will be ordering and visiting them again next year.

This shop offers beauty related products like make-​up, men’s shaving needs (shaving brush with real badger hair!) but they mostly specialize in perfumes. Brand names like Dior, Gucci and Estee Lauder are all present, but we wanted to get something that’s uniquely Italian.
The woman who assisted us was very helpful and let us sample a bunch of perfumes. The bf’s mom specifically asked for a perfume made in Italy and you can’t get any more authentic than the shop’s own brand, the «Ponte Di Rialto». The perfume presents itself with delicate floral notes and a hint of musk. It comes in this glamorous perfume bottle that is actual handblown Murano glass and the outside decoration is done by hand. The 3.4 oz bottle costs € 80 but it’s well worth it.
