Velvet Rose & Oud from Jo Malone London, created in 2012 by Fabrice Pellegrin, is a spiced rose with a dark woody core. People describe it as spicy and floral in equal measure, with about half also noting sweet and woody facets.

The notes are listed without stages, but the character is clear. Clove gives a warm, bold spice that frames the flower from the start. Damask rose and rose bring a rich, velvety petal scent, deep rather than fresh. Agarwood, or oud, adds a dark, resinous and slightly smoky woodiness, while praline lends a soft, nutty caramel sweetness that smooths the edges.

Most wearers report moderate to long-lasting wear and a moderate trail. Votes favour winter and autumn and lean towards evening, which suits dinners, nights out and cold weather. It is worn by anyone who likes the rose-and-oud pairing in a softer, sweeter and more approachable form than many traditional versions.
