    upon opening the bottle, i was struck by the softness of this fragrance in spite of the generally spicy first impression. i got mostly the clove and patchouli, but it wasn't at all in-your-face potent.

     

    a dab on the wrists and inner elbow, and it blossomed into a very warm, soft, almost comforting fragrance. wow. i mean, this is beautiful. i didn't get the vanilla so much, but there was a <i>very</i> subtle sweetness to this on the skin. i think the sweet did more to tone down some of the spice than to make the fragrance noticeably vanilla-y. it's funny, though, how this one smells just a little bit sweeter and more musky on the inside of my elbow, while the spices take the stage on my wrists.

     

    after about 45 min to an hour, it stepped back a lot. this didn't have a lot of throw to begin with for me, but it became a noseontheskin smell pretty quickly. the clove tends to be front and center, but there's definitely some patchouli and warm woods as well. while i love this on myself, i can't help but think it would be teh sexy on a guy. damn. i need a guy on which to experiment! :lol:

     

    this was all straight out of the package from the mail, so i'm going to re-visit and see what exactly we have here after it recovers from the cross-country trip. so far, though, i am extremely glad i went for this one. this one's truly bottled art.

    This is the only velvet of which I managed to get a full bottle, and I am thrilled with it. Like most others, I've found it's an extremely soft scent. You'll never be accused of overdoing it with this one! On initial application, I get mostly the sugarcane with the softest hint of floral/musk and a ghost of natural (as in non-household cleaner) lemon. After about a half hour, the lemon comes forward a bit, but it never fully takes over. My general impression of it is perfectly balanced soft skin musk and lemon sugar. It's not at all a foodie sort of scent. It's definitely a 'perfume-y' fragrance--clean, light, sweet, and extremely feminine. I would bathe in this if I could--it's heavenly! I like this one when I know I'm going to be up close and personal with someone. ;)
