Pas De Velours

Les Néréides Pas De Velours is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Pas De Velours opens with Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Incense, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Les Néréides's Pas De Velours carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This is a lovely intro to incense for the masses - warm, elegant, and surprisingly versatile. Some find it a bit 'meh' and too linear, but for many, it's a beautifully balanced simple pleasure.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and warm, intimate character make it perfect for date nights and cozy casual settings, especially in colder weather. While not cloying, the warmth and sweetness would be too much for active wear. It's subtle enough for a quiet office but perhaps too sensual for a high-stakes formal event.

About

Pas De Velours opens with a creamy, almost tropical ylang-ylang, immediately introducing a soft floral warmth. This quickly gives way to a gentle, smoky incense, not at all overwhelming, but rather creating a mysterious backdrop. The whole composition then settles into a plush, sweet vanilla base, accented by amber and balsamic notes, creating a cozy and inviting aura. It's a rich, enveloping scent that maintains an elegant simplicity.
