About

Velvet Gold opens with an indulgent blast of sweet, almost marzipan-like caramel, dusted with pink pepper, before a rich violet and rose heart blooms. The powdery notes are prominent throughout, settling into a musky, animalic base that's softened by a creamy vanilla. It's a complex journey from fluffy sweetness to a deeply sensual, slightly edgy finish.
