Velvet Rose 100 ml — Lattafa
Velvet Rose is a Lattafa eau de parfum in a 100 ml bottle, built around rose and patchouli, on a base of labdanum, amber and musk. Its cylindrical box, covered in a velvety pink coating and marked with a stitched label, announces the register: a soft, muted rose rather than a freshly cut flower. The bottle, in ribbed pink-tinted glass, has a copper-coloured ring and a clear cut-glass cap.

How it unfolds
Rose opens the composition, immediately joined by patchouli, whose earthy, woody note removes any tartness from it. At the heart, labdanum, a resin drawn from the rockrose, brings a slightly leathery warmth, rounded by musk. The base stays on amber and musk: the rose melts into a soft texture there, in keeping with the velvet of its name.
Who it is for, and when
Lattafa lists it among its feminine fragrances, and its US shop presents it as unisex: it is for those who prefer enveloping roses to green, lemony ones. Patchouli and amber make it best for autumn and winter, at the office with one spray, in the evening with two or three.
How to use
Spray from about 15 cm away on the wrists, neck and behind the ears, without rubbing. For a discreet trace, one spray on the nape is enough. Keep the bottle in its box, away from light and heat.

Frequently asked questions
Does Velvet Rose contain oud? No. The notes published for Velvet Rose do not mention oud; it is Velvet Oud, another fragrance from the brand, that contains it.
Can it be worn in summer? Yes, in moderation: its base of amber and patchouli comes through best in cool weather, but a single spray remains pleasant on warm days.
