Pierre de Velay No. 4
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a divisive, powerhouse aldehyde that unapologetically screams early 90s Italian glamour. Most love it or hate it, thanks to its bold, soapy opening, but for its fans, it's an addictive, confident classic.
Pierre de Velay No. 4 is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique boozy, aromatic blend from start to finish, or you'll be put off by what some perceive as an odd bay leaf and powdery combination. Definitely not a blind buy.
