What do reviewers say about Velvet Infusion and Santal Royal?
Velvet Infusion is built around a black tea note that actually reads as tea, not a vague aromatic suggestion. The citrus opening is clean and efficient, and the drydown with cedarwood gives it enough.Velvet Infusion
The name suggests sandalwood royalty. The fragrance delivers oud and leather instead. That's not a flaw, that's a statement: the royal house chose something darker, more interesting, more itself.Santal Royal
