What does Velvet Hour smell like?

It opens with blue chili, cashmeran and freesia, then moves into nutmeg and patchouli at the heart, settling on sandalwood, ebony and amber. The floral and sweet side is softened by a powdery feel, while the spice and smoke darken it.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the occasions that lead. Most voters read it as feminine. Dita von Teese Rouge and Michael Kors Sexy Amber have a close profile.
