Lalique Velvet Plum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel. Velvet Plum settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Iris, Tuberose, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Patchouli, and Heliotrope. Lalique's Velvet Plum carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

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.

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 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.
