What does Velvet Flowers smell like?

Rosa centifolia, peach blossom and Lebanese jasmine lead, with fruits sweetening the mix and saffron adding a light spicy edge. Comorian ylang-ylang and gurjum balsam soften the florals underneath into a powdery, slightly synthetic texture.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall; evening, daily and leisure wear are close to equal. Though it is unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Wally Vero Toscano Bianco and Paris Bleu Adage have a close profile.
