PowderyWhat does Aoud Velvet smell like?
Ylang-ylang, tiaré and orange blossom give it a dense, creamy floral heart, while Mysore sandalwood and Arabian oud ground it in wood. Vanilla and tonka bean add sweetness, and the spicy, powdery touches keep it firmly oriental.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings, nights out and leisure time leading the occasions; summer is the least favoured season. Half of the voters read it as feminine.
