Velvet Hour (for women)

Designer: Kate Moss Olfactive Group: Floral Woody Musk
Video

Velvet Hour was presented in 2008 and will be available at the market from September 2008. After Kate Moss' first perfume Kate, the popular model, in cooperation with Coty, announced night life notes with her second perfume, which she enjoys herself.

Her part in design of bottle, perfume and name is also very important. Other ideas for the name of this perfume were Velvet Night and Enigma. Since Kate adores dusk and the hour of twilight, the perfume was named Velvet Hour.

Kate Moss imagined this perfume as the scent of night, very sensual, with accentuated patchouli, sandalwood and incense. In cooperation with perfumer Emilie Copperman notes of black pepper, freesia and cashmere incense were built into the perfume, which has a heart of patchouli and nutmeg. The base notes include sandalwood, amber, ebon wood and woody accords.

The campaign accompanying the perfume was created in cooperation with photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, who will show seductive Kate on blue sateen sheets in the commercial. TV campaign shows Kate getting ready by her luxurious dressing table, dressed in a blue gown. When she gets up and tries to button her dress, a mysterious man enters the room... Kate passes him a bottle of her perfume, which he then sprinkles on her...This intimate scene is lit by candlelight.

The perfume Velvet Hour will be available in a blue bottle, as 15, 30, 50 and 100ml EDT. The nose behind this fragrance is Emilie (Bevierre) Coppermann.

I think i am in love with this one,
a nice surprise indeed,
it's creamy and smooth as the name "velvet" .

I didn't want to buy any of kate stuff after her first perfume cos that one really sucks,but i couldn't resist this one after sniffing it,the smells sexy and full of indulgence,i am happy to give it a chance and real glad to add this one in my collections.

The bottle design has mysterious looking kind of quality and fits that sweet aroma well,i am also glad that it is not long lasting on my skin cos i used to try many different perfumes everyday.

Still looking forward to her next product if there is any.

this is one of the worst perfumes ever. Got a sample of this as well as her first one "kate".
Both smell like cheap airfreshener mixed with cat pee and sweat. Yuck. Avoid like the plague, unless you want to stink instead of having a pleasant smell.

My immediate thought on first application was that this is a lighter, fresher version of EL’s Sensuous, which I love! Velvet Hour has that same spicy woody vibe going on in the drydown with a touch more sweetness and a bit less smack you upside the head intensity. This fragrance manages to be warm and smoky as well as fresh and young at the same time, making it suitable for any age. The heart of patchouli and nutmeg gives it a very distinctive and uniquely sexy smell. I actually find this more wearable than Sensuous and even though it is relatively cheap I was thrilled that it lasted an amazing 10 hours on my skin. I think I’ll use this for office and Sensuous for evening in the cold winter months. The bottle’s not perfect, but then neither Britney nor Paris got it right either! At least here, I find that the content does not cheapen the brand. Elegantly refined, opulently blended and beautifully feminine. For me, this one’s a keeper.

I really, really wish I had not sprayed this on my skin. I keep catching whiffs of dusty mouldy books (not the good old library smell, but old books ruined by floods). I guess this is the woodsy bit...but it is wet, dank, dying. I generally adore spicy, woodsy creations but my chemistry really does not like this one. Even the patchouli or incense cannot break through this murky mist :(

I'm looking at the notes & I can't for the life of me work out where they are in what I am smelling......& I cannot believe this has been compared to lovely, rich Casmir!

Sorry, Kate. This is not for me...I can't believe the rave reviews.

I so love this fragrance in every way ,when i go past in shops i smell it

C’mon people, don’t be afraid to admit, that you like this perfume.
Not all good perfumers are working for Dior! ;)
At the end of the day it’s about the scent itself, not about the name on the bottle… or at least it should be…
This scent reminds me of some other very well known perfume, but I can’t remember which one. It can be worn both day and night, but I would wear it at night. Not because it’s strong, it’s not, but this scent “sounds” better in the dark. It’s comforting and seducing at the same time.
If I see 15ml bottle I’m definitely going to get it.

I dont normally like celebritity perfume as it all smells the same to me, this one is unique and long lasting.

The first Kate Moss fragrance didnt last 5 seconds.

It smells cosy

Kate Moss really impressed me with Velvet Hour, coz her 1st perfume smells like Rose Oil, but this one is special. I was relieved that the amber doesn't get to strong, and what i didn't like was it's staying power. Overall, i love the idea of wearing this perfume at night, when i'm out with my friends.

I really enjoy this scent. I got some samples of it from the UK recently. It's like light floral incense. I don't notice the patchouli prominently. It's actually very light and clean for such a spicy composition. It's long-lasting on me, however I wish it were a bit stronger. The scent is uniquely comforting. I think it's targeted for evening wear, however I enjoy wearing during the day too. It's definitely longer lasting on me than Kate by Kate Moss.

Well, I broke down and bought a full bottle of Velvet Hour with the accompanying lotion. It was worth it, though, as I haven't found anything similar that I like as much as of yet.

Now I write again after a few days wearing Velvet Hour. It definetely reminds me on another perfume, I think Rochas Absolu is the scent but it's less fruity and more woody, very beautiful, excellent staying power - on my skin - , very comforting. I like it more and more.

I am not into celebrity fragrances, but this one is an exception. I like the crisp,oriental scent of the perfume.And its long lasting too.Whenever i wear this perfume, i feel like im into the eastern part of the world, mysterious, seductive yet not overpowering.
02/20/09 06:33:02
 
I did like the overall impression it created at first, but I can’t separate any of the individual notes in it. The drydown smells weird on me & has put me right off.

The bottle is interesting & a lovely colour.

The lasting power is much better then her first fragrance.

I didnt love it. I didnt hate it. It is slightly better than the majority celebrities perfume. I recognized patchouli and woody scent but it didnt stand out and it looked quite shallow to me, without a character, lacking "personality".
01/31/09 10:13:48
I was never a fan of celebrities' perfumes but this one is really unusual and very pretty. I tought I smell lavender at the top but now i see lavender is not mentioned here. Anyway, it's a nice spicy one, not too sweet, and definetely a good scent.
01/31/09 09:13:50
This perfume isn't that bad for such price.
On me it had patchouli and spicy smell, which appeared a bit citrusy. Woody base is nice.
Nice perfume overall, but I think I smelled something like that already. And I like it.
01/22/09 04:33:29
I tested it today and must say I love it! It is pretty unusual, cheerfull and sedustive. I can still smell it on my wrist, so it is pretty long-lasting. Despite all the spices, it is very fresh and clean-smelling, I can feel the feesia throughout the whole composition. It doesn't dry and fade out, you can still smell the flowers in it.
I think this will be the next parfume on my shopping list.

At first, it reminded me of CK IN2U for her, but it's not as balanced and more simple than CK. Also if you don't want to spend too much money on a fragrance, keep your hands off this one!

This is a blatant copy of the good old "Casmir" by Chopard, not a bad perfume, actually. In "Casmir", the vanilla is very obvious, but there is a lot of luscious fruit in it, too - "Velvet Hour" seems to be constructed accoding to the same scheme. Since "Casmir" is one of those perfumes which have seen a tremendous price-decrease since their first appearance on the perfume stage, I would not bother about "Velvet Hour" too much, although it might even be a bit cheaper than "Casmir". But perhaps you are a fan of Kate Moss and love the trashy bottle... then, of course, there will be no holding back...
10/25/08 11:01:36
No, it's nothing like L'Heure Bleue. There were rumors that Kate would copy her favorite perfume, which is - accordding to Vogue - L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain.
Velvet Hour is sweet, yet spicy at the same time. I get the nutmeg note almost immediately - and I love nutmeg. It then settles into deeper notes of wood.
I'd classify this as a somewhat oriental scent to be worn preferably in the evening.
Thanks for this one, Kate!
