9 White Velvet

I'd love for this perfume to last or project, because it's a beautiful blend of citrus with oud. Which is a not so common mix. But alas, where it rises in uniqueness and beauty it falls short on longevity and sillage. This is a very pretty blend of citrus and oud. The bergamot, orange and lemon are never sharp or in your face, fizzy drink kind of citrus. They are fresh and subtle, they give the perfume a "wakefulness", while the Oud is blended softly into the mix, it's almost floral. Strangely the notes of this perfume doesn't list any flowers, yet the softness of the Oud and perhaps the cedar and velvet makes it so feminine, it's almost like sniffing flowers with a spritz of citrus. I love this scent! I can't think of anything that resembles or is similar to this scent. Now I don't care much if others can smell my perfume or not, but sadly even I can't smell this on me, unless I press my nose into my arm. It's such a shame, because this house has some truly beautiful and different selection of fragrances. I wish they changed their fixative or base or whatever to make their gorgeous scents last.
