What does Velvet+ smell like?

Amber and saffron open it, while labdanum and roasted almond in the heart make it creamy and resinous. Patchouli and smoke in the base set that sweetness on a woody, smoky footing. The overall impression is oriental: warm, dense and soft.

Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes for feminine and masculine character sit close together, so it leans both ways. Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan and Xerjoff Black Moonlight have a close profile.
