Beate Johnen Sweet Romance is a sweet, powdery and creamy women's fragrance built around almond milk, rice powder and rose. It has been discontinued. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough picture. It is positioned as a women's perfume. It opens with almond milk and rice powder, giving a soft, milky sweetness. The heart of white tea, rose and water jasmine adds a fresh floral note. In the dry-down, sandalwood, ambergris and tonka bean bring out the woody and gourmand side, while the fruity and synthetic accords stay in the background.

Beate Johnen Pure Velvet / Black Velvet is a sweet, powdery floral for women, opening with mandarin orange, cardamom and lily; it has been discontinued. The top pairs mandarin orange, bitter orange, cardamom and lily, so citrus and spice give a fresh start with a soft floral edge. In the heart, heliotrope, vanilla orchid, frangipani and Indonesian patchouli turn it sweeter, creamy and gourmand. The base of cedarwood, sandalwood, tonka bean and musk leaves a woody, powdery warmth. The overall feel is oriental and spicy, deepened by an animal touch. Replay Stone for Her and Roberto Cavalli Just Cavalli I Love Her have a close profile.
