Velvet Petals

Ummm okay wow. This perfume smells of warm florals and almonds. It's sweet and comforting and definitely makes me feel feminine and girly. I don't know what praline is in perfumes but I do get a gourmand touch to this it's smells almost chocolatey or cakey (probs the praline). It does have sillage I can feel it wrapping around me. With 5 sprays four on the clothes and one in the middles of neck it lasts for about 1 hour so far 10:30am to 11:30 am with moderate sillage however I can definitely smell it on me. It's not completely intimate as some people are saying well at least not to me. Well my body warms up alot so it definitely projects and last longer because of that especially when I am moving alot. 🥰 It projects for 3 hours max but not intensely but the scent sticks on the clothing for hours. Its def something you would carry in a purse for touching up after 3 maybe 4 hours but it is well worth it as the smell is super yummy and inviting. You have to spray more than five time though and maybe you will get better sillage. It is nice to refresh clothes as it just sticks on you after that 3hr mark of moderate sillage and then it slowly mellows down and you get hints of the scent every now and then. It definitely isn't beast mode but hey it is a body mist after all. It's a good scent for causal day and places where people may have sensitive noses such as closed indoor settings as it projects well and mindfully. 🥰

a safe option for floral lovers. i tend to find body mists very alcoholic and synthetic but i haven't found that to be the case with this. i blind bought this because i found it for quite cheap and im really happy with it. it's very floral, i get hints of roses and orchids. there's this lovely nuttiness in the background that kinda makes this a perfect balance between floral and gourmand. it's pleasing without being overly sweet; it's like an edible flower almost. the notes of this are soooo lovely i would love to see this as an actual perfume rather than a mist; it uses notes that i personally love so much and have blended them to combine so well with each other. obviously as a mist this can only go so far in terms of projection and longevity. like i said before, i'd love for VS to make this into a perfume with a stronger formula. the way they've blended florals with notes of praline is so gorgeous. as a mist, i didn't really expect this to last long or project far. velvet petals is girly and sweet with a gourmand dimension without being cloying. i definitely think this is a good layering mist and i will be using this often!

I’ve been wearing this fragrance since early 2018 (When VS had the Wild Flora collection). It reminds me of the first time I met my fiance and all the lovely dates we went on. Til this day he always says I smell good when I wear it. It’s floral and has a gourmand touch. It’s definitely a compliment getter for me. My first bottle reads: “Sexy-warm woods, A touch of cozy gourmand. Wrapped in desire.” Couldn’t have been described better. Edit: I have noticed the regular (not shimmer) has more of a fruity opening than the OG Wild Flora version, I feel maybe the shimmer is closest to WF. But they all smell the same. I have three bottles of VP. My first being the Wild Flora, second being one I bought in 2021-2023? And third being the shimmer version I bought in Jan 2026. Maybe my first bottle has just macerated since then, but it has a more woody opening and dry down. I’m surprised the WF hasn’t gone rancid but I have kept it in a cool place away from sunlight. I’m glad VS decided to keep this fragrance from the Wild Flora collection.

Mmmm~, an absolute love 💝 I’m a gourmand gurl so I never picked this up because I didn’t want to smell too floral. It wasn’t until I smelled it on someone else that i finally saw the light. The other reviews are spot on. It’s very soft and girly. Like I can’t overstate that enough lol, a pretty girl fragrance, and my husband really likes it! To me it smells pink, glittery, soft. It’s not loud, it’s not pure seduction. It’s much fresher than something like Bare Vanilla, and wayyyyyyy better than Warm Vanilla Sugar. I also didn’t understand the lactonic note people are talking about but I realized this just manifests as a creamy enveloping feeling 😅 I wear this when I feel my girliest and want to exude softness and flirty, but a coy flirty. Like batting eyelashes lol. Btw this is nothing special and quite basic, it smells similar to any “soft” “cashmere” “snowflake” thing out there. But still a masterpiece to me. A perfume would be ideal, but i’m happy as long as this is never discontinued.

I feel as though this is an underrated VS body mist but it's one of their best. I can't get enough of that delicious opening spray. The scent smells so familiar but I can't remember what it reminds me of. It definitely doesn't smell anything like brown sugar and fig by BBW. They're not similar at all. I'm hoping tease heartbreaker is a deeper EDP version of this because the longevity and sillage for this mist aren't that great but the scent is to die for. I can't believe I'm just discovering this. Edit: I figured it out! This has the dna of la vie est belle/flowerbomb without patchouli and almond blossom as the star. I found a scent break down after scouring the web: Top notes: Almond (sugared), Starfruit Heart notes: Coconut milk, Lotus (blue), Apricot blossom Base notes: Sandalwood, Musks, Vanilla (Madagascar). This scent does smell very complex and I am desperate for something similar that's in EDT or EDP strength. If anyone has any recommendations, please share!
