Question:
I tried this one a couple days ago from Perfumeshoppe
Wow, this one really does evoke images of velvet right away
quite potent
when i started to look around for it though, I couldnt find info on it. Has it been renamed?
Anyone else have any opinions on this one?

Answer:
Vijay would be the man to consult about this one, but I can only think that you could be talking about Black Aoud.

Answer:
Montale Aoud Velvet is not in the directory, and to the best of my knoledge has never been an official release in Europe. Try to immediately catch it through the channel you got your sample from. If you are successful you may hold a real treasure in your hands! There is a perfume (no oudh!) called Velvet Flowers in the BN directory. This is not on the Montale website, though. I do not remember having seen it there before, but I always focused more an oudhs. Fact is, Montale have reduced their entire program very recently. I am sure, Vijay has more details on that.

Answer:
If i do would anyone like some decants ?

If I remember it correctly, the BN listing of Montales isn't even 12 months old, and it contains 35 perfumes. Montale have updated their website only this week, and it contains 27 perfumes. I reconciled the two and detected which are missing. It must be said, though, that there were sometimes samples around, when the fragrances themselves were not carried on the site. I asked about this via their contact address. Unfortunately it seems to be standard practice not to answer e-mails. Their Zurich Agent carries about 70 - 80% of the items. As concerns the rest, their employees seem to know less than I do, so it is really hard to know what is in fact available now.

Answer:
Hi - I just got back from Paris and purchased Aoud Velvet so it actually is a fragrance; I just don't think it is available anywhere else.

Well...I walked into the Perfume Shoppe in Vancouver almost 6 months ago, and they had this. According to the very helpful and knowledgeable lady there, it's just Velvet Flowers renamed to Aoud Velvet, and yeah...they added aoud to it. She personally orders all the Montales to her store and she knows her stuff, and that's what she told me. It basically smells like the color purple.
