Velvet Pomegranate

I found this for $20 at Burlington and it's absolutely beautiful. Bright and fresh opening that carries through to the dry down, I don't have many perfumes that pull that off. I don't really pay mind to a "young" or "adult" scent, if I like it, I like it - but at the same time, I can see this as a youthful scent for an older person. I also recently bought Tuberose Overdose and the similar scents show a couple votes for Overdose, but I smell this as distinct. Overdose is, at it says, very tuberose bubblegum while Velvet Pomegranate is a sparkling fruity floral. It smells very fruity champagne-esque to me. A mature candy sweet fragrance. I'm in love, I can definitely see myself burning through this bottle! 😍

This fragrance mixed with my skin chemistry gave me a pleasant surprise. It initially smelled like the freshness of the pomegranate combined with scents that are reminiscent of a zen garden, with light scented florals. That's what I pictured in my head the moment it hit my nose; it was nostalgic. Then I was subsequently hit with this scent that reminded me of expensive incense, the kind you would find at various temples. Then, the dry down brought in a lovely fruity scent that lingered that eventually broke down into a sweeter scent that was reminiscent of marshmellows. I really enjoyed the journey this fragrance took me on.

Wow. Wow. Wow. So good. Like. What in the world. This is SO ridiculous how good this is!!!! First blast a sweet sweet treat of rhubarb and pomegranate. Mixed with a beautiful sexy mature oud and spicy bite. This smells like a $500 fragrance. Bottle is gorgeous. Box. Everything. If you’ve dabbled in the Banana Republic lines before the same packaging is here just. Vibrancy. The collezione riservata collection is one to covet. Velvet Pom just dances along my skin and constantly changes. From warm sweet fruity to oud spicy masculinity. Absolutely a beautiful juxtaposition of fragrance. 10/10 !!!

Bought this at the same time as Tuberose Overdose. Tried TO first, and wasn't impressed - very little projection and sillage non existent. Left it to develop, and still not satisfied with it. I then tried Velvet Pomegranate, and was again disappointed, but left this to macerate, and my word it was worth it. A tart pomegranate and rhubarb scent, somewhat reminiscent of So Scandal, but less reliant on tuberose. So glad I got this, as I love the fruitiness of it. I also like bottle and packaging it comes in.

Beautiful fragrance. I suggest that you let this one sit for a bit if you are uncertain about the initial spray. The opening is bright with rhubarb, bergamot, and pomergrante. Then, the sweetness of the pear, vanilla, and tuberose shine through with just hints of jasmine and orange blossom. The more I let this sit, the more I love it. On me, it's a very feminine fragrance.
