CreamyWhat does Velvet Sublime smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall next and winter last. Daily wear and the office lead the occasions, followed by leisure. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close and never turns heavy.
The notes read as a single whole: the fruity brightness of mandarin meets the floral side of neroli and orange blossom. A fresh, green character leads, while a sweet, creamy softness stays in the background.
