The review

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

Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 89% less than Velvet Rose & Oud.

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

Value9.9
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo 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 damask rose and clove, turns to oud and praline, and settles into vanilla, amber and musk. That is the brief Velvet Rose & Oud is working from.

Top

  • damask rose
  • clove

Heart

  • oud
  • praline

Base

  • vanilla

  • musk
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.
