Velvet Amber Blackberry

I had this when it first came out. When I ran out,I never repurchased it, then when I wanted it again, VS had discontinued the scent. I did find the body lotion on Ebay, so I bought it. I'm happy I did, but I don't remember it being spicy, but I still love it. The blackberries are kinda tart, but nice and the Turkish rose underlay is romantic. On my skin, I would consider it a fresh-spicy scent. Hate to say this, but I do believe this could be unisex, as some other reviewers noted. It does have a masculine approach, at least on my skin. Do I mind that? Of course not! Very dark, spicy, romantic and a little sweet without being overwhelming.

I fell in love with it at the first sniff when a friend gave me a small bottle of mist. Though it doesn't last long on my skin, everytime I wear it I receive great compliments, from both men and women. When the bottle gets 3/4 full, I became desperate to have my stock and I was lucky to find bigger bottles of mist, and lotion. When used together, the scent last longer as compared with using the mist alone. I find it strong for everyday use (since I'm from a tropic country), I prefer to wear it on cold seasons or night-outs. Very sexy and sophisticated,, top of my favorite amongst the VS scents!

When the Parfum Intimes line came out I actually smelled the Satin Rose de Mai in store and loved it. Victoria's Secret website had these in the little spray bottles for Christmas and I got them on clearance. I tried all of them and quickly fell in love with Velvet Blackberry Amber. Somehow it smells what I think velvet would be if it had a scent. It's sort of a "comfort" scent that's warm and nuzzling. This perfume also has special meaning to me because I wore it a lot when I was dating my now husband. When I smell it I instantly go back to those days.

I love this fragrance so much. I have the powder and the perfume still and I'll use it sparingly because it's discontinued. It's just the type of scent I like. Soft and mysterious. You can just smell the juicy blackberries and warm amber. It's perfect to wear on cold fall nights. Makes me think of fall leaves and a starry autumn sky. It's very sexy. It smells luxurious to me. I wish it would have more lasting power, but I definitely LOVE this...I wish it wasn't discontinued :(

This is one of my all time favorite fragrances - I SO wish that it was still available in stores! It is awesome for fall/winter. It is ripe, juicy, and warm, just wonderful. I don't get any rose whatsoever. I have a full bottle of this to back up the one I am using now, both of which I bought years ago, but I am using them sparingly because I am afraid to run out.
