Is Velvet Vanilla more floral or more gourmand?+−
It is a hybrid of both. While it features a heavy heart of tuberose and jasmine, the base of vanilla and white musk is so prominent that it often leans into the territory of a "pastry" or "candy" scent.
How long does this fragrance typically last?+−
It is known for its extreme persistence. Most wearers find that a few sprays last twelve hours or more, often remaining noticeable on clothing for several days.
Is this scent suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Due to its potent sillage and intense sweetness, it is generally better suited for leisure time, evening events, or outdoor settings rather than a confined business environment where it might be overwhelming.
Does this fragrance smell like actual vanilla beans?+−
Not exactly. The vanilla here is more sugary and "velvety" rather than dry or smoky. The combination of blackcurrant, pear, and tuberose gives the vanilla a fruity, syrupy quality often compared to pink bubblegum.
