What does Velvet Orris | Violet | White Pepper smell like?

It opens with raspberry, cranberry, white pepper and bergamot, a fruity start with a light spice. In the heart, orange blossom, orris root and caviar bring a floral, powdery softness. The base of patchouli, amber, musk and cashmere wood dries down onto a sweet, creamy ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure and evening wear, and voters call its character feminine and modern. Parfums de Marly Oriana and Alexandre.J Oscent Pink have a close profile.
