Our verdict on Velvet: Favourite

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best 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.

About

Velvet kicks off with an intriguing mix of spicy clove and a subtle hint of sweet almond and creamy coconut, quickly evolving into a heart of luxurious rose and soft vanilla, warmed by the powdery touch of heliotrope. The drydown settles into a sensual embrace of woody notes, deep ambergris, and a distinctive birch, creating a plush, smoky finish that lives up to its name. Expect a journey from initial spice to a velvety, rose-tinged warmth.
