Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Vetiver 100ml Eau de Parfum Spray for Unisex

Velvet Vetiver by Dolce & Gabbana is an Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men, launched in 2011 as part of the prestigious Velvet Collection. Created by master perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, this sophisticated fragrance is inspired by the sun-drenched Mediterranean coastline, blending earthy woods, aromatic greens, and creamy fig into a scent that feels both ruggedly natural and luxuriously refined.

Fresh yet deeply elegant, Velvet Vetiver captures the atmosphere of a Sicilian summer where sea breezes, wild herbs, and warm earth merge into a refined and modern olfactory experience.

The fragrance opens with an invigorating blend of Moroccan artemisia, Italian bergamot, citron, resin, and wild savoury. The bergamot and citron provide sparkling Mediterranean freshness, while aromatic herbs and resinous notes create a crisp green opening that feels vibrant, natural, and sophisticated.

At the heart, notes of Smyrna fig, lentisk resin, French clary sage, and blue eucalyptus create a fresh yet creamy aromatic core. The fig adds smooth Mediterranean sweetness and velvety softness, while clary sage and eucalyptus introduce cool herbal freshness balanced by the subtle resinous warmth of lentisk.

As the scent settles, rich notes of Haitian vetiver, maritime pine, vanilla, buffalo grass, and musk create a warm and earthy finish. The smoky vetiver becomes the signature of the fragrance, while pine and buffalo grass add rugged woody depth softened beautifully by creamy vanilla and smooth musk.

Velvet Vetiver is ideal for those who appreciate green woody fragrances with aromatic sophistication and Mediterranean-inspired warmth. Elegant yet versatile, it performs beautifully throughout the year and especially shines in warmer weather where the fig and citrus notes feel radiant and solar.

Presented in Dolce & Gabbana’s luxurious Velvet Collection bottle topped with a velvet-wrapped cap, the fragrance reflects timeless Italian craftsmanship and understated opulence.

How to Apply:
Apply to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and chest to maximise longevity and projection. Avoid rubbing the fragrance into the skin after application, as this can affect the crisp green opening and smooth woody development.
