What does Velvet smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer trailing behind. It is chosen most often for evenings and leisure time. Though unisex, most voters read its character as feminine.

Violet absolute, iris and rose absolute form a floral, powdery frame. Persian galbanum and angelica root add a green, slightly spicy edge. Labdanum, Indonesian patchouli and frankincense bring woody, earthy and smoky depth.
