How does it perform?
From 252 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

PowderyWhat does Velvet Haze smell like?
It opens soft, with ambrette and coconut water. Patchouli follows in the heart, adding an earthy, woody note. Musk and cocoa absolute settle the base into a creamy, sweet finish, while the floral and fruity accords stay in the background.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and leisure and evening wear lead. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is unisex.
