What does Velvet smell like?

It opens with roasted almond, clove and coconut water, then moves into a soft, powdery heart of vanilla blossom, heliotrope and Turkish damask rose. The base of black amber, blond woods and silver birch settles into a warm, woody, slightly smoky dry-down.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings, leisure time and nights out. Voters read it as somewhat more feminine, though a sizeable share call it masculine. Nest Turkish Rose and Montale Gold Flowers have a close profile.
