Frais et Frais Veloutée is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Veloutée opens with Anise and Saffron, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Amber and Oakmoss. Frais et Frais's Veloutée carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Veloutée is a divisive beast: some find its unique sweetness enchanting, while others are put off by the anise heavy opening. If you're after something a bit different and don't mind a challenge, give it a go.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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

Veloutée opens with an assertive, almost liquorice-like hit of anise, softened by the rich spice of saffron. The heart unfolds into a sticky-sweet caramel embrace, underpinned by a creamy jasmine. As it dries down, a warm amber glow emerges, grounding the sweetness with an earthy, slightly green whisper of oakmoss, adding a touch of classic complexity.
