    What do reviewers say about Absolute Oriental and Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud?

    Spiced rose with depth, saffron gives it an edge most florals won't touch. Oriental warmth without the usual sweetness. This is the one for people who think they don't like rose.Absolute Oriental
    Rose-heavy fragrances often feel precious. This one doesn't whisper. The oud keeps it honest. Eight to ten hours of presence means you're not reapplying at dinner, it's still there, warm and close.Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud
