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.

SmokyWhat does Velvet Crystal Smoke smell like?
Incense and star anise give the opening a spicy edge. Ambergris, mineral notes and woods set a cool, dry heart, and fir balsam with patchouli leaves a resinous, slightly powdery trail at the base. The overall feel is woody and smoky, with a synthetic crispness running through it.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these are only first impressions. It suits men and women alike. Grauton Parfums Quarzgrau and Extrait d'Atelier Maître Céramiste have a close profile.
