Something about this fragrance makes it feel exclusive when I wear it. The dry-down is different than the initial spritz. By itself is pretty ****, however, it blends very will with IF and California depending on which way you want it to go... more floral or more citrus....

Even though there's the vanilla absolute, white musk, and patchouli musk at the end, they are blended so perfectly well they turn into a new scent. Genius chemistry.

First off, i love that my order included a sample spray. It is a great idea as a way to be absolutely sure about the scent prior to actually opening the perfume package.

I am very happy with Velvet Rope. The initial scent of licorice is rather strong at first. But the dry down is really nice. I have never considered myself drawn to vanilla fragrance but notes in this blend work really nice together. I find this to he a unique scent. I have been a Fragrance fanatic since my teens so i have smelled a lot of scents along the way. SO many scents are just copy cats of each other so when I say the fragrance is unique- that is saying something!!
