Our verdict on Velvet Plum: Favourite

Don't let the name fool you - skip the fruit aisle entirely. This is a divisive, leathery, woody, powdery enigma that some adore for its unique sophistication, while others find it just plain baffling.

About

Velvet Plum opens with a rich, almost smoky woody note, quickly softened by a plush, powdery iris and heliotrope. The heart reveals a complex interplay of osmanthus, lending a surprising leathery facet, alongside a clean, earthy patchouli that adds textural depth. Cashmeran and musk provide a velvety, skin-like embrace, creating a scent that feels more like a luxurious fabric than a fruit.
