Soft, delicate feel-good fragrance
Many fragrances from Van Cleef & Arpels I like and they accompany me for a very long time. This is about "Rose Velours" from the Collection Extraordinaire, not to be confused with "Rose Rouge" from the same house. They have nothing in common except a similar name. "Rose Rouge" is rather a rose chypre and "Rose Velours" a powdery-floral fragrance with rose notes.
There was a time when I thought "Rose Velours" appealed to me BECAUSE it's not a typical rose scent. I have since learned that rose scents can definitely smell super on you. "Rose Velours" now, however, never had the potential to be MY rose scent - that being said, that spot is now occupied elsewhere. But "Rose Velours" is a nice, pleasant soft scent that I like to wear. It's cuddly, delicate, almost carefree. I know that there are no surprises waiting for me here, and that there is no jammy note around the corner. Nothing pokes the nose here, it is and remains a soft, fluffy scent, but one that never loses its airy character at any time.
Sounds boring? Well, maybe. "Rose Velours" is playful, almost dreamy. He is in any case no Rampensau and also does not score by the fact that the fragrance puts down a spectacular course or even tells a complex fragrance story.
Yet "Rose Velours" has a surprisingly fruity and tangy start. By iris and violet is
the floral direction is always predominant. Both components remain rather restrained, even the violets do not push themselves into the foreground - what they can indeed, the little guys. "Rose Velours" becomes discreetly honey-sweet with a slight rose note quite quickly, and it stays that way on my skin for quite a long time and doesn't change anymore. After about 6-7 hours, very soft, woody notes come to it, which fits together quite excellently.
"Rose Velours" is a fragrance that makes me dream, but also releases melancholic streams of thoughts. The fragrance reminds me of sunsets, of warm days. Soft, yet voluminous, finely balanced. There are days on which you need such fragrances.
