Experimental Perfume Club Velvet Incense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Emmanuelle Moeglin. Velvet Incense opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris, Myrrh, Frankincense, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Experimental Perfume Club's Velvet Incense carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly gorgeous amber iris with a fresh twist, but its terrible performance means it’ll fade before you've even properly introduced yourself. Shame, because it's a stunner.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its soft, smooth, and clean profile makes it an easy wear for casual settings and even the office, as the poor sillage ensures it won't offend. However, its weak performance means it won't last long enough for a full evening event or a strenuous activity.

About

Imagine stepping into a softly lit room, where a initial burst of sparkling bergamot gently ushers in a heart of powdery iris and fresh-spicy juniper. As it settles, a warm, resinous blend of amber, myrrh, and frankincense wraps around you, smoothed by a hint of creamy vanilla. This is a velvety, comforting embrace, clean and inviting, with just a whisper of complexity.
