Oscar Velvet Noir

I tested Velvet Noir for the second time on skin today, and I really like it. It's quite intense, with the white floral being to my nose more of a background for the woods, rose, violet and amber. In some ways, especially the drydown, it reminds me of Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir in a slightly simplified form, perhaps more suitable for daytime wear. The top notes I felt disappeared fairly quickly although the ginger hung around for a while to play with the rose and violets. Very nice scent that is not sugar sweet and has some personality to it.

rose oud that is strong and quite a bit fruity so less gourmand and patchouli laden; mainly rose, orange, orange blossom, western oud, osmanthus, amber and musk; so fruity that it seems like maybe there is black currant here, and very floral as well with the orange blossom and osmanthus being major players; love this but this powerful fragrance fades down very very fast to a skin scent, just a whisp of a musky rose oud on the skin

It smells incredibly sexy on my wife!

Velvet noir I have previously reviewed this. Today: incensy, light woody, I think the accords look right, but I can’t detect each accord individually belond the top incense and gentle woody, the other notes are supporting. This is a winter test, this is very different than when I initially tried it. Smells very distinctive, it’s not overpowering. I think you could add to this fragrance and layer it carefully. A man could wear this too. I wouldn’t say this is masculine per se it’s not deodoranty

This is nice, it smells a little older in the beginning, I might be able to detect liquorice, I've got diesel spirit on the other hand and it doesn't have that same musky thickness.. This seems like a floriental perhaps I don't know what oud smells like, I've inly got it in the back of my hand, I would try it again I a pulse point though. It's coming into spring here. I'm at the middle note phase of it
