SmokyWhat does Velvet Amber smell like?
A bright opening of bergamot, cardamom and lemon gives way to rose, saffron and leather, with cypriol adding a smoky edge. The base brings amber, oud, patchouli and vanilla together, while sandalwood and musk soften the dense mix.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. Its heavy, dark build suits cooler weather best. It has been discontinued. Fragrance Du Bois Oud Noir Intense and Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal have a close profile.
