What does Some Velvet Morning smell like?

As a whole it reads sweet, creamy and powdery. Peach adds a soft fruitiness, while vanilla and benzoin turn it resinous and rich. Patchouli keeps things grounded with a woody, earthy tone, and musk settles everything onto a smooth base. Floral and spicy touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. Occasions are spread evenly, from leisure and evenings to daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number find it masculine.
