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.

About

Velvet Amber Blackberry opens with a burst of ripe, jammy blackberry, immediately inviting and lush. As it settles, the sweetness is tempered by a soft, romantic rose, adding an elegant floral touch without overpowering. The real star is the dry-down, where a smooth, warm amber emerges, giving the fragrance a rich, almost powdery depth that evokes the sensation of velvet on the skin.
