Agreeable, familiar, sweet/spicy with a hint of dirty
Pineward Perfumes Velvetine is a nice sweet/woody/spicy mix with some dirty hints as well, with notes of ambergris, cypress, vanilla, clove, labdanum, and fir. It has the fir/cypress center that so many in the line have, with a relatively safe balance between the dirtiness of ambergris and the sweetness of vanilla, both quite noticeable, along with the clove, providing the spicy midway between dirty and sweet.

Velvetine does have a smoothness that lends credence to its name, and does feel like one of the more agreeable options at the house, not so pine/fir/spruce-intense as it is a sort of sweet/spicy/woody ensemble, which, like pretty much the entire line, conjures both the cooler weather and the outdoors.

It’s definitely giving me a bit of déjà vu, as well, in its comfort, so while it’s a little less boundary-pushing than some of the other entries in the Pineward line, it’s very easily lovable and performs well, and is another great entry in the line.

Its pricing, like the rest of the line, if $135/80 for 37/17ml.

Sweet softness
I think that the name of the perfume represents very well what it really is.
It is a soft and velvety smell, sweet but not too much.
Sometimes it can seem like it smells like some red fruit, but I guess the mixture of vanilla, amber and clove is able to smell something that reminds me of it.
I really don't smell anything like the green of the firs and cypresses or the laudanum I've read about.
Although it does not have an iris, it could have some similarity with some of the most famous perfumes based on it.

For me it is a magnetic smell, close and at the same time elegant, to dress in that sense... or to be in high-level underwear.
It would be powerfully seductive if projection and silage were powerful, but they are not.
It is a scent that is part intimate and part charismatic.
I find it versatile in terms of the occasion and personality.

Blending Childhood and Animals
Velvetine is a good name because when I sprayed this, I had the impression of pressing my face to a well loved toy rabbit that is trying to become real. At first it smells sweet and a little like play-doh, taking me back to my childhood. Then it becomes more clove heavy and animalic, like the fur of the family pet rabbit. I would say this fragrance is better at a distance because when I smelled my wrist to better identify the notes, it had a sour resin note. I did not pick up that note in the projection and thankfully the projection is really good with this fragrance, so mainly I smelled like cloves. I would have liked for the cypress and fir to kick in a little more, balance it out or add some complexity. The scent lasted about 6 hours on my skin and it goes for $135 for 37ml, $205 for 57ml. Those are luxury perfume prices and honestly I think you can find the same thing in your local whole foods store for a more affordable price.

Woody ambergris vanilla
Ambergris, cypress, vanilla, clove and fir.
Someone might expects something very weird and "difficult."
But no, this was a truly surprise fragrance!
Initially, a little animalic nuance by the amber combined with the greenish/resinous part of cypress.
Soon after, however, emerge the heart of sweet, soft and powdery vanilla with some small woody and licorice nuances.
The composition is perceivable mostly natural as an aroma, especially the vanilla, which, in many cases, is used as a synthetic derivative via vanillin.

flat coca cola
this opens with a smell reminiscent of Coca-Cola but no carbonation or fizz. It’s like coke when it’s gone flat, syrupy sweet and smooth. Then the cloves come in to add a warm spiciness here that turns that sweetness into a licorice like smell. It’s spicy, sweet, and very amber heavy. The labdanum is the definitely the star of the show here, with resinous amber accords and smoky spices blended to make a truly velvet like scent. This is fuzzy almost, softly smooth, and deeply rich. It’s a little too much amber for my own tastes but I do appreciate the blend here.

Opens quite animalic, almost fecal, but dries down to a beautiful dark, cosy, warm woody amber with a syrupy sweetness reminiscent of prunes

A ton of funky animalic musk/ambergris up front, dries down much softer and cozy musk with a heavy dose of clove.
