What does Velvet Rose & Oud Rich Extract smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though these ratings rest on only a handful of votes. It reads as dense and can be worn by men and women alike.

A floral, sweet body carries a resinous, oriental depth. Damask rose leads, oud lays a darker base beneath it, praliné adds a gourmand softness and clove brings spicy warmth, while maté stays in the background. Powdery and chypre touches keep it balanced. Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud (Cologne Intense) and The Dua Brand Aoud Velrose have a close profile.
