The review

On paper, Velvet Orchid is a reasonable bet if you want Velvet Orchid for less.

Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Velvet Orchid's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $125 per 100ml it costs 42% less than Velvet Orchid — the 7th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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, rum and bergamot, turns to orchid, rose and jasmine, and settles into sandalwood, suede and vanilla. That is the brief Velvet Orchid is working from.

Top

  • honey
  • rum
  • bergamot

Heart

  • orchid
  • rose
  • jasmine

Base

  • sandalwood
  • suede
  • vanilla
A warm, honeyed floral bouquet with rum and suede; plush, feminine and richly enveloping.
