Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Eau de Parfum
Velvet is a divisive, smoky rose fragrance. Fans adore its dark, romantic complexity, often comparing it favourably to By the Fireplace, but others find it cloying, metallic, or simply 'burnt wood'. Definitely test before you commit.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bodacious Eau de Parfum
This is a grown-up cherry bomb, leaving its expensive rivals in the dust. Some say it's identical to Lost Cherry, but with actual performance; others call it a unique masterpiece. Either way, it's a divisive delight.

Season and Occasion Fit

Velvet Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its bold, smoky, and spicy character, Velvet is best reserved for evening or cooler weather, making it highly appropriate for dates and formal events. It's too potent for the office, and the rich accords aren't suited for casual daytime or sport.

Bodacious Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong performance and rich, sweet, boozy accords, Bodacious isn't shy, making it less suitable for a confined office setting. It truly shines for dates and evening events where its luxurious and seductive character can be fully appreciated. The casual score is moderate as some may find it too much for everyday wear.
