Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Incenso is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Velvet Incenso opens with Pepper and Elemi, settles into a heart of Labdanum and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Dolce & Gabbana's Velvet Incenso carries a Statement verdict, an amber-led wear.

Velvet Incenso is a divisive scent that transports you straight to a church ceremony, whether you want to go or not. Lovers call it a spiritual, intense incense bomb; haters find it too dry, too liturgical, and seriously lacking in longevity for its price tag. Sample before you buy, unless smelling like a Catholic cathedral is your vibe.

About

Opening with a sharp, peppery kick and the aromatic brightness of elemi, Velvet Incenso quickly deepens into a rich, smoky heart of churchy frankincense and resinous labdanum. The base wraps you in a complex blend of warm amber, creamy vanilla, and earthy patchouli, underpinned by soft cashmere wood. It's a balsamic, woody embrace that's undeniably mysterious.
