SmokyWhat does Velvet Rouge smell like?
Cocoa and coffee lead, with mandarin orange lightening the dark sweetness a little, while nutmeg and chili add a warm, peppery bite. Woody, resinous and smoky accords sit underneath, so the sweetness reads deep and dense rather than sugary.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick it for evenings, with leisure time and nights out following. Organic Perfume Girl Mama Was an Opium Smoker and Kerosene Winter of 99 have a close profile.
