ILYA Parfums Black Velvet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Ilias Kakis. Black Velvet opens with Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Musk, Leather, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oud, and Tonka Bean. ILYA Parfums's Black Velvet carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Petitgrain and frangipani lift a dark blend of musk, leather and oud, with vetiver and tonka softening the finish. A confident, evening-leaning choice for cooler weather.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend
Topas listed

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Black Velvet pairs green petitgrain and frangipani with a darker centre of musk, leather and oud. Haitian vetiver brings a dry, earthy edge, while tonka bean rounds the base with a softer warmth. The result is textured and assertive, moving from a fresh floral lift into a deep, musky finish. It suits evenings and cooler days, especially when a fragrance with a noticeable presence is the aim.
