Velvet Rose & Oud
A floral oriental woody fragrance built around rose, oud, velvet, woody. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Peony & Blush Suede
Soft and polished from the first spray, the opening leads with peony and a faintly tart red apple that keeps it from reading as purely sweet. The heart settles into rose and jasmine, but both are quieted by suede — that note does real work here, smoothing everything into a powdery, skin-close warmth rather than a bold floral statement. Projection is modest; this sits close to the body with a gentle musk dry-down that lingers without announcing itself. — A refined, understated daily wear for spring and early summer, best suited to those who want florals without showiness.
