What does Velvet Teddy smell like?

It opens with bergamot, ginger and tobacco flower; in the heart honey, vanilla orchid and mimosa give it a soft, creamy sweetness. The base holds musk, papyrus root and tonka bean. Spicy, woody, resinous and slightly smoky tones run alongside the sweetness. It has been discontinued.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. It reads mostly feminine, with a fair share of voters finding it masculine.
