What does Crushed Velvet smell like?

The top opens with cypress, amyris and saffron blossom, giving a dry, lightly spicy woodiness. At the heart, smoked poppy, vanilla orchid and frankincense bring out the sweetness and a powdery creaminess. The base of musk, frankincense resin and sandalwood rests the scent on a soft, resinous footing.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure, daytime and evening wear. Voters mostly read it as feminine, with modern second. Maison Incens Santal Tislit and Binet-Papillon 2: Ambre Demi-Deuil have a close profile.
