First spray is a load of juniper berries. Read: booze. And grapefruit. Loads of that too. Then it settles into a slightly smoky, slightly boozy, still slightly sour (citrus) vanilla.
It smells much better on my boyfriend than it does on me.
I agree with Lana148 ~ to an extent. The way this smells on me isn’t polished, isn’t finished somehow, just like she described. However, it is perfect and smooth and polished and finished on my boyfriend, which makes me feel it’s a chemistry issue. 🙁
I love this fragrance, but it only likes me…

This feels like mix of red berries, rose, vanilla, musk. This is complicated and elegant but somehow not polished and it doesn’t shine. It had potential, but It didn’t happened.

Velvet Rope is super boozy to me, like some kind of designer martini. For that reason I find it’s name quite apt.
I perceive the rose note to be quite jammy, almost gourmand. It’s balanced by the fresh spiciness of juniper & cypress. The grapefruit note is nicely bitter.
Definitely interesting. I’ve actually been looking for a fragrance with a strong gin note, but I think Velvet Rope is a bit more conceptual than what I’m looking for. I kinda want something that’ll smell like I’ve doused myself in Boodles.

I own this scent. Sometimes in a quest for the unique and unusual I make a mistake. This might be the one. I paid $90.00 for the bottle and have been using it as a room spray…I imagine the candle is a more appropriate mix for this complicated expression of odor??? I have been experimenting with a concoction of this fragrance with Marc Jacobs Daisy, but I feel as if I am wasting my “Daisy”.

Fresh and soft. Has an almost baby-like scent to it, vanilla and musk is very prominent, but not overpowering. Makes me think of sitting in an opera house, makes me imagine high-society. It’s just a truly pretty summery scent, and I am in love with it!

My first try with this was of citrus, tea, vanilla, then spicy fruit. A coconut note came and went leaving a faint leather note with the spicy fruit. I tried it a few weeks later and got a sharp citrus with florals, lacking the warm undertones I’d loved the first time and making it hard to wear. I think if this works for you, it really works. If it doesn’t, expect it to change, sometimes pleasant and lovely, sometimes aggressively sharp.

All Apothia scents have Martini note which I really love. Velvet Rope is no exception. Imagine a woman with a long dark red velvet dress and glass of cold Martini in her hand,- that’s how I see Velvet rope. For my nose it has the smell of coconut in the top and middle notes, even though it’s not in the pyramid. Velvet rope is a very soft fragrance, soft like velvet and bitter sweet like Martini, alluring, warm, cosy. Love it!
