To a pipe in the rose garden
After I already had a lot of fun with the Exploration Kit from Commodity (contains a whopping 18 fragrances!), I knew that one fragrance definitely had to move in as a full bottle: Velvet! The Velvet series has me by far the most gecatcht. The curious thing is that Velvet and Velvet hardly differ from each other. The former should actually - according to the Scent Space concept of Commodity - be closer to the skin, but for me both fragrance notes and H/S of the two fragrances are identical. Velvet+, on the other hand, has nothing at all to do with the other two, since the rose is completely missing.
So much for the classification of the three Velvets to each other.
To describe this wonderful fragrance, please see me that this is my first Rezi and my nose still needs a lot of practice :) Nevertheless, I can rightly say that Velvet has absolutely captivated me, because it is an extremely exciting rose fragrance. Actually, rose scents are often either too girly or too "mature" for me...just often meh. This rose here is dirty, gritty, a bit coked up and at the same time subtle understatement. On the other hand, the soft, sweet clove with vanilla that comes across almost tobacco-like. Almond and coconut I barely smell. Rose-smoke-vanilla, I perceive.
So I can absolutely understand the comparisons with By the fireplace. But what BTF has in pepper and bang in the prelude, Velvet has in subdued florality. For me, two completely different pairs of shoes. But who likes spicy-smoky, will probably also like both.
Minus point: In terms of H / S unfortunately very weak on the chest. Have already after 4 h the need to refill. Again, no comparison to the BTF.
The fragrance is quite linear and shows no great development, with which I personally have no problem at all, on the contrary. MMn rather on the feminine spectrum.
From the occasion I like to wear it in everyday life, also fits super as Ausgehduft from autumn to spring, perhaps in a well-groomed bar. All-rounder for everything that is not high summer.
Conclusion: restrained and noble, special and entertaining. For me, an enchanting no-brainer that always goes.
