Velvet Aura

Very warm perfume, perfect for autumn weather, this is my new signature winter fragrance 2025 and I will be using it throughout the rest of the year. I can really smell the cardamom and sandalwood from this perfume and it also gives off a smell of spices and herbs, it blends together very well with my skin. This may sound very odd, but it really reminds me of Gucci Guilty Elixir DP, even though they only share a couple similarities. However, it is not a bad thing. It has a very great projection and is not too overwhelming, but I'd avoid using this during summer or spring as it can get a bit too deep during warmer weather. It's longetivity is honestly nothing special, it stays on my skin for a solid 6 or so hours but fades off around the fourth hour. I would argue this fragrance is a tad bit more masculine than feminime, but it can definetly be worn by women. It is Most definetly worth 60£, great quality. Edit: Approximately 2 weeks after getting this, I got my hands on the perfume oil. It was initially sold out in both in stores and online, however my local rituals magically got a shipment out of nowhere, and I was able to purchase it. The perfume oil is just as amazing, no complaints whatsoever. Sits nice on my skin and is a great compliment with oud bakhoor. Perfume oil is pretty cheap, went for 20£, totally worth it, strongly recommend, great buy!

Sampled this at the store and was thinking about it for the rest of the week. Genuinely think I need to go back and purchase it, probably would've back then if they had it in stock. The cardamom-y vanilla is borderline mouthwatering and the little spritz I did also had decent longevity on me, could still smell it on myself in the evening

I have the oil it’s a woody vanilla 😍😍 give it a sniff if you can! It’s warm and there is a bit of sweet spice. It’s also limited edition unfortunately ☹️ Reminds me of the stronger with you range

this is fantastic, super cozy wintery scent. I ordered few backup bottles as it is my current favourite scent. However longevity is very poor

I was quite skeptic to try this this because of many notes on here that I generally don’t like. But alas I bought the perfume oil and I was so surprised by how much I like it. It’s a spicy perfume, not spicy like men perfume spicy, but spicy nonetheless. A bit woody, the vanilla has more of a supporting role. I’d say it’s also a bit green, but very creamy. It literally smells like fall to me and the dry down reminds me of vanilla chai. Not typically what I’d expect from rituals, definitely try it out.
