Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Velvet Bloom is shaped as a living composition, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Next is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

When the structure is mixed the fragrance opens as a single chord with a creamy-floral mood: Orange blossom, Orchid, Sandalwood, Suede and Vanilla. Here 5 notes act as one coherent layer, creating floral tenderness that reads as cohesive from the start.

The deeper layers are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.

The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Floral, Wood, Leather and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.

At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Whiteflower, Floral, Wood and Leather. The palette also extends to Gourmet. At family level the composition sits in Floral.

Taken together Velvet Bloom reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The scent of this fragrance leaves a bittersweet feeling. Sandalwood and orange blossom create something milky and sweet, but with a woody texture that seems to fade into oblivion. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long on my skin, but despite that, I still liked it. Its fleeting nature, though disappointing, I forgive it with a touch of sadness )

What an amazing bottle! I just can't take my eyes off it. Why the bottle? Because I have it right now, I took it from my sister, there are only a couple of milliliters left. And the fragrance itself. It immediately reminded me of two perfumes - Euphoria and So Elixir. If you were to mix them and make them softer, with added vanilla, you'd get a very similar composition to these Velvet Flowers!!!
