Velvet Rose and Oud - 101

Name: Velvet Rose and Oud - 101 Eau de Parfum
Brand: The Essence Vault

The Essence Vault Velvet Rose and Oud - 101 is an Eau de Parfum. Velvet Rose and Oud - 101 opens with Clove, settles into a heart of Rose and Praline, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Oud. The Essence Vault's Velvet Rose and Oud - 101 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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

No. 101 leans into the dark, romantic rose-and-oud pairing that defines Velvet Rose & Oud, opening with a spiced clove accent before the rose takes hold. The Damask-style rose is convincingly done and true to the original's brief, softened here with a touch of praline for extra sweetness. The oud-and-woody base is where the gap shows most clearly - Jo Malone's version has a genuinely smoky, textured richness that lingers for hours, while this dupe settles into a lighter, sweeter woodiness that fades sooner. Still an appealing, accessible option for anyone who wants the rose-oud combination for intimate evenings without the department-store price.
