Fragrance Du Bois Velvet Amber is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Christian Carbonnel. Velvet Amber opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Geranium, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Leather, Rose, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oud. Fragrance Du Bois's Velvet Amber carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A rich, warm Eau de Parfum that mixes leather, saffron and rose with oud, amber, patchouli and vanilla. The citrus and cardamom opening keeps it from feeling heavy at first. A luxurious pick for cold weather.

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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Velvet Amber is an Eau de Parfum that opens with geranium, cardamom, lemon and bergamot, a spiced and citrus start. The heart brings leather, cypriol, saffron and rose, smoky and floral together. The base of oud, patchouli, amber, sandalwood, musk and vanilla is deep, sweet and woody. It is a warm, opulent scent that moves from bright spice to a dark, velvety finish.
