What does Pas de Velours smell like?

Ylang-ylang opens with a soft, creamy floral note. Frankincense adds a resinous, smoky touch in the heart, and vanilla sweetens everything into a powdery, oriental warmth. A spicy accord keeps the sweetness in check.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and most voters read it as feminine. Hekate Albulaan and Sama Deva des Fleurs have a close profile.
