Description
The story behind this fragrance
Velours unfolds with a peppery bite—pink and black pepper crackling against black tea's dried-leaf astringency—before settling into a creamy, resinous warmth. Olibanum and jasmine emerge as the heat mellows, their incense-and-flower softness tempered by orris root's powdery restraint. The base layers in musk and amberwood, creating a gentle amber glow, while vanilla adds a whisper of sweetness that lingers without cloying. Skin-close and tactile throughout.
