What do reviewers say about Velvet Desire and Velvet Gardenia?
The creamy tuberose and tropical warmth are what draw people in, and what keep them coming back. It's bold and unapologetic, the kind of fragrance that asks you to commit or move along.Velvet Desire
This isn't a polite gardenia. The beeswax and honey give it real warmth, and the frankincense underneath keeps it from becoming precious. Dark enough to mean something.Velvet Gardenia
