Velvet Expressive Sample

My favorite perfume of 15 years was discontinued, so I was on the search of a new fragrance. I ordered the full discovery set, and while I liked all of them, none was just right. Luckily, I received a sample of Velvet, and I instantly knew it was the one! It lasts the entire day on me. I can smell it on myself, which usually doesn’t happen, but it is not overwhelming to people around me. I feel so good when I wear this.

The scent is a little hard for me to describe, but sensual is a good description. It is creamy, soft, smooth and smoky. Definitely a Smokey beginning, but it lasts as a subtle warm soothing smoke- more clove scent. It’s slightly sweet, but not sugar-sweet. It has vanilla- like scent, but not sugar vanilla. For some reason, I think of childhood Bazooka gum- NOT that it has a sweet bubblegum scent, more of the delicious powdery memory of opening the wrapper.

*I recently bought a sample of the Velvet Bold, and it smells very similar, but much more Smokey.
