What does Sweet Velvet smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters pick spring, followed by summer and fall, with winter the least chosen. Daily wear, leisure and evenings out get similar weight, while office wear is the least picked. Voters read it as feminine and modern. Guess Seductive Red (Eau de Toilette) and Aquolina Sweet Me have a close profile.

The accords are floral, fruity and sweet, with a gourmand, creamy side. It opens with blackcurrant, almond and dragon fruit for a fruity start. Magnolia, frangipani and peony bring a soft floral heart, and tonka bean, milk and vanilla settle it into a creamy, sweet base.
