This one's a wildcard. Some rave about its vibrant, jammy rose and fruit, calling it a masterpiece. Others find it screechy, smelling of nail polish remover or cheap synthetic fruit. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it appears to react wildly differently on skin, but if it works for you, it's a bold and powerful scent.

A budget version of Ramon Monegal Flamenco. Velvet Dance reproduces the juicy raspberry-rose heart over a piney woody-amber base, but tames the original's loud, near-screechy sillage and renders the wine-like depth flatter and shorter-lived.
