Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Pure is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Velvet Pure opens with Jasmine, Labdanum, Galbanum, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Neroli, Geranium, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Iris. Dolce & Gabbana's Velvet Pure carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly green scent, Velvet Pure is unapologetically verdant, a luxurious yet divisive take on the spring garden. It's either a calming balm or an overwhelming fig leaf assault - no middle ground here.

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.

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile for most settings, though its distinct green character might be a bit too casual for very formal events. It's often described as a 'spring morning' scent, perfect for daytime and relaxed wear.

About

Opens with an intensely green, almost vegetal burst of galbanum and fig leaf, bringing to mind crushed foliage and dewy earth after rain. As it settles, delicate jasmine and bright neroli emerge, softened by a creamy, slightly spiced narcissus. The base leaves a sophisticated trail of earthy vetiver and powdery iris, maintaining its green character throughout.
