Perfumer H Velvet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Lyn Harris. Velvet opens with Angelica, Bergamot, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Labdanum. Perfumer H's Velvet carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A properly dark, earthy rose, Velvet is sophisticated and intriguing. It's not for everyone - some find it too dry and serious - but if you like your florals brooding, this is a winner.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its deep, woody, and earthy character with significant patchouli makes it less suitable for a casual sprint or an office setting where something lighter might be preferred. It's perfectly suited for an evening date or a formal event, where its sophisticated and sensual depth can really shine.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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 opens with a sharp, green brightness from galbanum and bergamot, immediately grounded by the herbal touch of angelica. This quickly gives way to a deep, red rose heart, which is less sweet and more earthy. The drydown is dominated by a rich, resinous patchouli and labdanum, underscored by the classic, mossy depth of oakmoss, creating a complex, grounding, and slightly damp forest floor impression.
