I am not sure how, but it works in winter - goes nice and warm once wearing it for a bit.

It definitely starts out as a mango mojito to me, though. Can fully see myself with this on through all seasons. Bought it pretty much blind and do not regret it one bit!

It definitely gives luxe spa vibes. It gives very rich. Very true to this. You can definitely get the peppery notes with this fragrance. It's very bold, very vibrant but it is missing that "fresh" note that I like so much in the expressive. Sillage is and strength are two thumbs up. Definitely recommend adding to your queue this winter.

Commodity fragrances are by far the best there is! I fell in love with Paper first and have had strangers approach me and ask about my perfume and where can they purchase it. Now my husband is asking for his own Iced and he is hooked! I think he smells amazing! We love being part of the Commodity family

I absolutely love this fragrance. It's like nothing else I own, super fresh, fruity, but sophisticated. I love wearing this on cold icy days, but I know this will be amazing in the summer too. Fresh frozen mango, the freshness of the mint, and eucalyptus, then leaving the most beautiful warmth of amber and tonka bean. Perfect!

Mooie balans tussen fruitig, oud en fris.

Je denkt misschien meteen dat het vrouwelijk is vanwege de bessennoten, maar het is heel uniseks. Het zijn aardende noten plus dat kenmerkende Commodity DNA dat, voor mijn neus, ruikt naar een romig/oud mengsel.

Geen veilige blind-buy, maar ik weet zeker dat het massaal in de smaak zal vallen.

This one is a trip! I don't know if I like it, but it's so weird and interesting that I wanted to get some.

It opened with a big splash of effervescent strawberry and rhubarb. This jammy pie smell faded very quickly and dried into a mossy smell (a scent that I don't like on me). But before I could wash it off, it took a left turn and smelled like CELERY. It stayed that way for several hours and then faded into an eccentric soapy smell that reminded me of electricity and wet sand for the rest of the evening.

My hands-down favorite for warm weather. It is exactly as the name implies— juicy. Not sickly sweet, not sticky sweet, but perfectly round and tart and fresh. The rhubarb in it is genius. I have the 30ml bottle on my dresser and the 10ml tube in my purse year round.

It is a totally incredible fragrance, I bought it in this presentation because I love the duration and fixation and projection of this note in my pH. The note of raspberry and mint is very noticeable and I have really received many compliments and the perfume lasts all day and if I put it on my clothes, after having washed it, it still smells

This fragrance feels warm and inviting, without the sickeningly sweet tinge that I typically find with gourmands. The spice from the amber, brightness from the juniper berries, and earthiness from the sandalwood add extra layers of interest and depth to the sweet richness of a typical gourmand. It's soft enough to make someone feel invited, but bold enough to let them know they aren't needed.

This is a warm, deep fragrance that works well for fall and winter seasons. It's hearty and complex. The smokey smell I love but others might not. Not a fragrance to blind buy as I think some might think it's too strong. I love it and have gotten lots of compliments.

I bought the sample box first this past summer with all the were bold scents and a few stood out to me but Book+ was #1 and I had to get a full bottle. Fast forward to Black Friday I jumped at the chance to get a full bottle on sale. No regrets, instant compliments from my wife and co-workers in office. I’ll probably need another bottle as backup but this was a great purchase.

On me:

Crisp earthy notes, smooth and inviting.

Deze geur is erg aan me gegroeid, het is een nootachtige geur die zich heeft ontwikkeld tot precies de geur van een zoet brandend kampvuur. Hij is niet te sterk, maar ik ruik hem nog steeds na het douchen, dus hij blijft lang hangen.

Heel uniek!

Moest deze speciaal bestellen uit de VS omdat hij niet verkrijgbaar is in Sephora Canada. Dit is de beste geur ooit. Ik vond hem in eenkit en raakte geobsedeerd. De verpakking was een beetje vervelend, maar ik denk dat het de bedoeling is dat je hem eraf scheurt en er niet afglijdt!

Commodity Velvet Expressive is pure comfort in a bottle. I’ve worn it to bed every night since receiving it because it’s that cozy. From the first spray, the roasted almond comes through warm and slightly creamy, giving it a soft, almost toasty sweetness that feels instantly comforting.

As it settles, the rose petals add a gentle floral touch — not sharp or powdery, but smooth and understated, keeping the scent balanced and elegant. The black amber in the base is what really makes this fragrance feel so “comfy cozy,” wrapping everything in a deep, woody warmth that lingers beautifully on the skin.

It’s an intimate, calming scent that feels like being wrapped in a blanket. While it’s perfect for bedtime or lounging, I’d definitely reach for it in the colder months if wearing it out, when those warm, ambery notes really shine. If you love soft, cozy, woody fragrances that feel comforting and luxurious, Velvet Expressive is an easy five-star fragrance.

"It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love." The smell of this reminds me of the opening line to Love in the Time of Cholera. It's romantic and melancholy.

It's complex and eccentric. Sweet and dangerous. The clove note is unique and delicious. The rose is elusive but hovers.

Many people compare it to By The Fireplace by Replica. I can see why because this has a whiff of campfire and marshmallow. But BTF to me feels like face planting in an ashtray. Velvet's smoke is not in your face. I get the smoke in the dry down on my skin, but it's more like cedar chips that are beginning to catch rather than a roaring fire. It's a winter/autumn scent for sure. I won't want to wear this in the spring and summer.

Skin chemistry is key to your experience of this scent. On my skin, this is a wonder. Sprayed on paper, it smells delicious but a bit basic. I think this goes for all of the Commodity scents I've sampled. They smell great on paper but not that exciting or complicated. On my skin, they start to unfold in unexpected ways. Some don't smell good on me, but Velvet just works.

Moss personal has quickly become my new favorite scent. I’ve had it less than a week and made a dent in the bottle already. It was a successful blind buy for me. It is so beautiful, clean, fresh, green, herbal. Like being on cliff at the edge of the forest near the ocean. Or walking into a luxurious spa. The personal line stays close to the skin and clothing, very lightly lingers for several hours. I do not like strong perfumes so the personal line works beautifully for me and this scent, in particular, is absolutely stunning. Definitely will repurchase.

Bij mij opent Moss met een frisse citrusroes, gaat dan over in een zachte moss diepte en verzinkt uiteindelijk in een vage houtachtige muskus. Het voelt alsof je net na zonsopgang een bospad inloopt.

Bij warm weer vind ik het een verfrissende geur voor als je uit de douche komt en iets groens wilt, maar niet te opvallend. Expressive is net aanwezig genoeg om op te vallen; voor gelaagdheid heb ik hem gecombineerd met een zachte houtachtige geur om de levensduur te verlengen.

Als je de voorkeur geeft aan bold, langdradige parfums, zal het je solo misschien niet bevredigen, maar het is een juweeltje als subtiliteit en groene elegantie je doelen zijn.

Mijn dochter gaf me deze vorig jaar voor Vaderdag en ik had de fles sneller leeg dan ik had verwacht. Overal waar ik kom vragen mensen, wat voor eau de cologne heb je op? Het is mijn favoriete eau de cologne als ik een zomers briesje over mijn gezicht wil voelen strijken. Ik pak deze net zo vaak als mijn Dior, Hermes en Creed.
