The review

On paper, Velvet Rose Fragrance Oil is a strong bet if you want Tobacco Honey for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tobacco Honey's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: perfume oil, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $45 it costs 87% less than Tobacco Honey.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on honey, aniseed and clove, turns to tobacco, sesame and Tonka Bean, and settles into vanilla, sandalwood and oud. That is the brief Velvet Rose Fragrance Oil is working from.

Top

  • honey
  • aniseed
  • clove

Heart

  • tobacco
  • sesame
  • Tonka Bean

Base

  • vanilla
  • sandalwood
  • oud
Sticky golden honey poured over cured tobacco and sandalwood; opulent and award-winning.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
