What does Pink Velvet / Rose Petals smell like?

Bulgarian rose and May rose lead the opening; saffron and Turkish rose follow in the heart, with saffron adding a spicy edge to the rose. In the base, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten the scent while patchouli lays down a woody, earthy floor. Citrus and green accents keep the rose from feeling heavy.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good by voters, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression. It reads feminine and suits those who like rose with vanilla. Vivian Gray Wild Flowers and Tom Ford Café Rose (2012) have a close profile.
