Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Very Irresistible Sensual Velvet opens with a vibrant, almost tart zest from lemon verbena, quickly mellowing into a lush heart of 'dark, fuchsia roses' with a delicate, powdery vanilla. The spicy kick of star anise adds an intriguing twist, preventing it from being overly sweet. As it dries, a subtle patchouli note lends an earthy depth, grounding the floral sweetness in a 'clean but sexy/dirty' way that's utterly captivating.
