Velvet+
Velvet+ has an immediate larger presence than Velvet-, which was to be expected. I can smell the paper strip very intensely though it is currently lying to dry down. It has an Oud for Greatness quality to it, but I do get smoke as stated in the pamphlet. What I don't get (on paper) is saffron and patchouli. It is well rounded, but something about it makes me nauseous. It is the infamous Commodity DNA, yet again. On skin the rose is much more prominent and I remember (for once) liking the rose note in Velvet Expressive as it balanced the somewhat nauseating scent. Velvet+ is richer, darker and better than Velvet-, but not Velvet Expressive. It reminds me of Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, but with the Commodity DNA sprinkled all over it. Alas, neither of the Velvet editions are to my liking.
