A flanker in name only
It's a flanker of Red Door in name only, so don't let that put you off ...
Red Door Velvet is a sweet musky fragrance that really does remind me of velvet. It wears similar ot SJP Lovely on me. One of the key differences between Velvet & Lovely (and her sisters, like NR Her): Velvet has a more organic, sweet, earthy musk, whereas Lovely a more synthetic, pink plastic dollhead musk. Velvet & Lovely are smell-alikes on me after the 30-minute mark. However, Velvet is a bit too sweet & oppressing to wear in the summer, whereas Lovely is wearable in heat. Red Door Velvet in best in winter.
Unfortunately, my husband thinks Velvet smells like a candle store. Haha, our entire home smells like a candle store. I'll wear Velvet anyway. I think it's one of the best in class mass-market musks, although it won't be loved by everyone.
