Pas De Velours vs Nº4

Shared character

Both fragrances share the core notes of ylang‑ylang, vanilla and incense/olibanum and are anchored by floral and ambery (oriental) accords, resulting in an overall warm, sensual, oriental vibe.

How they differ

Pas De Velours is built around a narrow triad of ylang‑ylang, vanilla and incense/olibanum, giving it a focused, warm‑floral‑ambery character. Nº 4 adds a much broader palette – citrus (mandarin), spice (pink pepper, clove), additional florals (jasmine, magnolia), woods (cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver) and amber – creating a richer, more layered composition that moves from bright top notes through a spicy‑floral heart to a woody‑amber base.

Who each suits

• Pas De Velours – suited to wearers who prefer a streamlined, sensual oriental scent with a strong floral‑vanilla‑incense focus; ideal for evening or cooler‑weather occasions. • Nº 4 – suited to those who enjoy a more complex, multi‑facet fragrance that blends fresh citrus, spice, additional florals and woody‑amber notes; works well for daytime or transitional seasons and for people who like a vibrant, layered oriental composition.
