Les Indémodables Oriental Velours is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Florence Fouillet Dubois. Les Indémodables's Oriental Velours carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously textural scent, a complex myrrh-led oriental that's not for everyone. It's divisive, challenging some with its intense green and medicinal facets, but adored by those seeking something truly distinctive and high-quality.

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.

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for evenings out and more intimate settings like a date.

About

Oriental Velours opens with a compelling interplay of resinous myrrh, offering a medicinal and earthy depth, immediately softened by the green freshness of spruce. As it evolves, the fragrance reveals a subtle, almost fungal jasmine, adding a nuanced floral facet that blends seamlessly with the rooty character of vetiver. A whisper of unsweetened vanilla emerges in the drydown, providing a comforting, velvety smoothness that rounds out the composition, leaving a sophisticated, warm, and distinctly non-gourmand trail.
