Velvet Bouquet

Spirit of Velvet Bouquet

Spirit 2021

Spirit fragrances are usually dupes of popular designer scents. I think this is supposed to be Dior Poison Girl, but I'm not entirely sure, as the listed notes and the color scheme don't hint at it.
Spirit of Velvet Bouquet has the same creamy almond and vanilla base with roses and fruits on top as Poison Girl, but it also has a bitter, powdery note that reminds me of dried flowers, which makes the opening less pleasant. I can sense the iris and a dry raspberry here. The rest of the scent is extremely sweet and the two facets don't really work together. Therefore this doesn't smell as smooth and rounded as a designer fragrance usually does, I definitely wouldn't mistake this for anything more expensive. The drydown gets more harmonious though, because it's more focused on the vanilla.

This is okay for what it is, but not that great. If you're looking for Poison Girl on a budget, try La Rive Fleur de Femme instead, that one is much closer to the original and a nicer scent in general.

This fragrance is a delight upon first spray.
Blackcurrant and raspberry complement each other very well.
Quite quickly, the flowers in the heart note come into play, giving it fullness; it is almost opulent.
In the base, vanilla, praline, tonka bean, and musk join in, making it a bit creamier.
A truly beautiful scent, I would wear it year-round.
The price-performance ratio is unbeatable.
Great perfume for a modest price.
