Commodity Velvet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Jérôme Epinette. Velvet opens with Clove, Almond, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Rose, Heliotrope, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Woody, Birch, and Ambergris. Commodity's Velvet carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Velvet is a divisive, smoky rose fragrance. Fans adore its dark, romantic complexity, often comparing it favourably to By the Fireplace, but others find it cloying, metallic, or simply 'burnt wood'. Definitely test before you commit.

About

Velvet kicks off with an intriguing mix of spicy clove and a subtle hint of sweet almond and creamy coconut, quickly evolving into a heart of luxurious rose and soft vanilla, warmed by the powdery touch of heliotrope. The drydown settles into a sensual embrace of woody notes, deep ambergris, and a distinctive birch, creating a plush, smoky finish that lives up to its name. Expect a journey from initial spice to a velvety, rose-tinged warmth.
