What Wearers Say
Lattafa Velvet Rose
One wearer loves its classic, powdery rose character and the calmer floral, woody and musky drydown. A buyer describes a fresh, clean rose-garden impression.
The first wearer finds the opening loud and the later woody, spicy edge sharp enough to make sampling worthwhile.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood
One sampler enjoys the sweet, candied character and finds the EDP very noticeable.
An owner of both versions describes the EDP as brighter and more sparkling than the Extrait.
One EDP sampler found the rose very loud and soapy.
The Verdict
OUD satin mood is our pick, because Lattafa's Velvet Rose doesn't list oud. Its notes are rose and patchouli, labdanum and musk, over amber and musk: a warm, resinous rose. MFK's is oud, Damascena rose, a violet accord and vanilla amber. Violet makes it powdery and plush. Choose Velvet Rose for rose and amber.
