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 and Oud. The Essence Vault's Velvet Rose and Oud - 101 carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-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.

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.
