PowderyWhat does Velvet Paradise smell like?
The top notes are bergamot, nutmeg and cardamom, so citrus and spice move together. In the heart, jasmine, rose and peony push it towards floral and powdery. The base of cedarwood, patchouli and oud adds a woody, slightly sweet footing.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters suggest spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. Leisure, nights out and evenings lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Xerjoff Torino23 and Mazzolari Hartley have a close profile.
