CreamyWhat does Velvet Love smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn, spring and winter, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and still works for daily and office wear. Most voters find it feminine.
Ylang-ylang, carnation and pepper make up the scent. The floral and sweet side leads, while spicy, woody and resinous tones sit behind it. A powdery, creamy softness and a fresh touch shape its overall feel.
