“Ok honest review from a scent addict!First smell was a little urinal for me was sharp on the nose.- Musky citrusy scent that has sharp hints but is also very subtle. unusual not really what id go for as i like to smell like a Gulf girl Drenched in oud! but this is definitely a beautiful middle eastern fragrance more towards masculine for me but women feel free to wear this as I WILL.Packaging is beautiful, velvet casing and an sleek heavy expensive looking bottle.Sprayed this at work a colleague complimented it within seconds.familiar notes to Armani Si ( To me)”
“This perfume is the strongest and nastiest perfumes I ever smelled in my life. It gives me a headache every time and it's not even mine. The person that wears it in my household walks around smelling like a bottle of cheap perfume. It just smells like a chemical experiment gone wrong!”
“A lot of people shy away from heavy Arabic colognes. I am middle eastern myself and have always preferred the much more versatile and refined European style of colognes. that said, i wanted to get a little more into oud frags and sampled this at a store. I was blown away by the quality of this cologne at its price point.When applied Velvet oud for the first time, the only thing i could smell was a nice leather. it was pure leather all the way through and i liked it a lot. as i kept on wearing daily however, my nose went right past the leather and into a beautiful vanilla-ish note. Im not personally very good with picking up on or describing notes, but here is an analogy:Velvet Oud smells like a leather jacket that has been worn by someone who has continually worn the most delicious colognes. VO has a familiarity and warmth to it that that is both comforting and very masculine. Velvet Oud and Bently for Men Intense are the only 2 summer/winter frags youll ever need.Performance is also very good with this. i feel like i get a solid 5 hours out of this until it tapers off. even then i dont feel like i need to reapply because it still projects a very nice scent off the skin. the It not a projection monster, but it does draw a respectable amount of distance. All in all, i wouldnt feel comfortable going too heavy on it. You can add a few more sprays if youre really feeling yourself, but i wouldnt advise thinking "cheap price = bad performance".box feels premium with a velvet wrap, which is a nice touch. the cap has a heavy piece of glass as its top ornament. It looks a bit old school, but definitely feels premium and high quality.all in all, much like bently for men intesne, im blown away by this deep, and warm cologne at such a wonderful price.”
