Chopard Rose Malaki Eau de Parfum vs Velvet Rose and Oud - 101 Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Seriously divisive. Some reviews are ecstatic, others call it synthetic rubbish. It's a dark, woody-rose affair with a metallic edge, definitely for those who like their scents with a bit of a bite. Don't blind buy unless you're feeling adventurous and prepared for its unique character.
A recognisable nod to Jo Malone's Velvet Rose & Oud, pairing the same dark rose-and-oud idea, but flatter and less velvety than the original, with a noticeably shorter smoky trail.
