What wearers say

“Rouge Velours is an interesting fragrance that incorporates Rose(a slightly synthetic one) into a cool refreshing green tea fragrance. Not sure how it compares to velours since its a very refreshing and moist type of scent compared to a dense velvety material that velour is.Longevity and sillage are very strong so a bottle will last a long time. A more femenine leaning fragrance but can easily be enjoyed by men. Not quite my cup of tea since i expected a dense and powerful fragrance like Lost Cherry with Rose as a star intead of Cherry, but not a bad one overall.”

“This is nice! I get roses that are finishing among slightly boozy earth /plant decay and a delicious glass of iced tea. Great rose fragrance for end of summer- projection and longevity are decent (8+hours).”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Love this one!!The scent, the color, the bottle!Agree that the patchouli is not dirty in this frgrance. The rose is still the main character in this frag.The rose-patchouli combo is not unique, but this is one of the best rose-patch that I've tried.If you sometimes think the drydown of POAL is a little bit stinky becoz of the patchouli, you may try this one.This one is so wearable, classy, luxurious & sensual.The color of the juice gives you the image of the scent. That Gorgeous Wine Red.Sillage is moderate - High. Longevity is nice too.”

Sillage

The clone lacks the distinctive olibanum richness that gives Rouge Velours its liturgical depth and complexity. Fragrance World's interpretation leans slightly sweeter and less woody in the base compared to the original's more austere, incense-forward finish.

Sillage

The missing or significantly reduced olibanum note diminishes the original's sophisticated resinous character. Longevity and sillage may be slightly lighter on the clone compared to the designer fragrance.
