Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its eternal longevity and strong sillage, this isn't one for the office where subtlety is key. It's perfect for a date or a formal evening event where making a bold, memorable impression is the goal, though some might find it a bit too overwhelming for casual day wear.

About

Velvet Rouge opens with a fiery kick of chilli and a bright, almost camphorous mandarin, quickly deepening into a rich, dark swirl of bitter cacao and roasted coffee. As it settles, the scent transforms, revealing a complex tapestry where the initial spice mellows into a warm, almost syrupy nutmeg sweetness, grounded by an earthy vetiver that adds a smoky, leathery texture. It's a dark, intense gourmand with a spicy, virile edge.
