FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Velvet Blush lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Peony & Blush Suede.

ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Peony & Blush Suede's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $65 per 100ml it costs 74% less than Peony & Blush Suede — the 4th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
