How does it perform?
From 35 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

FougèreWhat does Velvet Fire smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, though a fair share pick winter. It leans towards leisure, daily and business wear, and votes split evenly between masculine and feminine.
The top notes of myrtle, cypress and clary sage open green and airy. Saffron, neroli and tobacco in the heart add a spicy, floral warmth. The base of oud, tonka bean and cistus settles into a woody, creamy sweetness. Tom Ford Fougère d'Argent and Mancera Fig Me Up have a close profile.
