Velvet

Velvet by Avon is a rich, complex rose-fig-patchouli fragrance with a warm, velvety elegance. It opens with a bold burst of fig, pomegranate, and raspberry, followed by a smooth, creamy Bulgarian rose blended with heliotrope and saffron, creating a luxurious, intimate aura. The sillage is moderately strong, projecting confidently without overwhelming, making it suitable for evening wear or colder seasons. The dry down reveals a subtle patchouli and musk base, adding depth and longevity, with some users reporting around 8 hours of wear. The fragrance evokes a sense of sophistication and mystery, often likened to a modern chypre or a heavier sibling to Midnight Poison, though less aggressive and more gourmand-tinged. It pairs beautifully with the Avon Velvet shower gel and body lotion, enhancing the scent’s depth and longevity. Despite the occasional mention of a 'plastic doll' or 'inexpensive' undertone, the overall consensus highlights its exceptional value for the price.
