Van Cleef & Arpels Rose Velours is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Antoine Maisondieu. Rose Velours opens with Bergamot and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Ambroxan, and Benzoin. Van Cleef & Arpels's Rose Velours carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This is a stunning, sophisticated rose that is loved by many for its unique blend of notes, but some find it a bit too subtle or fleeting. If you want a bold, head-turning rose, look elsewhere. If you're after a romantic, honeyed floral that stays close, this is a winner.

About

Rose Velours opens with a delicate pop of bergamot and fresh violet leaf, quickly ushering in a lush, velvety rose heart. This isn't your average rose; it's steeped in a rich, warm honey, adding a touch of gourmand sweetness without becoming cloying. As it dries, it settles into a soft, woody embrace of cedar and benzoin, with a subtle touch of ambroxan providing depth and a modern edge. The iris lends a soft, powdery whisper throughout.
