The review

On paper, Edinburgh is a strong bet if you want Velvet Rose & Oud for less.

Noted Aromas sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Velvet Rose & Oud's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $33 per 100ml it costs 84% less than Velvet Rose & Oud — the 2nd cheapest of 5 twins we can price.

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 Noted Aromas 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 damask rose and clove, turns to oud and praline, and settles into vanilla, amber and musk. That is the brief Edinburgh is working from.

Velvety damask rose smouldering over oud and clove, the house's most seductive bottle.

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