The new sensory creations of the exclusive Velvet Collection
Dolce&Gabbana enriches its renowned and exclusive Velvet Collection with two new haute perfumery creations: Velvet Honey Santal and Velvet Passion Oud. The innovative fragrances, a synthesis of contemporary refinement and traditional craftsmanship, represent a sensory journey through the olfactory richness of the materials and the depth of the emotions that inspire them.
With an approach that combines modern elegance, reinterpretation of unique, rare and enveloping traditional ingredients, the Italian Maison, with its mastery, explores the duality of olfactory pleasure: the golden brightness of honey and the smoky opulence of the duo composed of Passion Fruit and Oud, in a dialectic of light and shadow that reflect two complementary souls (one sunny and velvety, the other deep and mysterious) and which meet in a perfect balance of contrasts.
Both fragrances, available in Dolce&Gabbana boutiques and on the official e-commerce channel, confirm the Velvet Collection as an exclusive line aimed at the search for beauty through olfactory memories, love for Italy, tradition and uniqueness from the Dolce&Gabbana signature.
Velvet Honey Santal
Created by maître parfumeur Aurélien Guichard, Velvet Honey Santal is a gourmand woody fragrance that celebrates Sicilian Honey, a rare and precious ingredient, a symbol of light and Mediterranean abundance. Inspired by mythology and the timeless beauty of the island's Greek temples, the composition opens with the sunny sweetness of golden honey, enveloped in the creamy warmth of Sandalwood. In the heart, Styrax and Gurjum Balsam give a balsamic and velvety dimension, while the base of sweet Amber and warm Benzoin reveals a sensual, intoxicating and persistent touch that caresses the skin like a caress of light. The result is a radiant and enveloping fragrance, which translates the abundance and Mediterranean sensuality of a divine nectar reinterpreted in a modern key in a contemporary key.
Velvet Passion Oud
Developed by perfumer Paul Guerlain, Velvet Passion Oud is a Fruity Oud fragrance that reinterprets the most mystical and fascinating soul of Sicily. It evokes the atmosphere of an Arab palace in Palermo, where elaborate frescoes meet the enveloping spirals of the hookah in timeless harmony.
The opening surprises with the exotic vivacity of Passion Fruit, which blends with the sensual intensity of a hookah accord, in an opulent and fiery contrast. In the heart, the notes of Saffron and Rose express a refined sensuality, while the base of smoked Cistus and natural Oud gives depth and magnetism to the composition. Rich, layered and irresistibly voluptuous, Velvet Passion Oud is a journey into the mystery of hidden desires and whispered stories, a tribute to the Arab heritage of Sicily, where past and present meet and perfume becomes legend.
Furthermore, Dolce&Gabbana Beauty has launched on its official website the Velvet Layering Experience, an interactive digital service that allows users to independently explore the possible fragrance combinations within the Velvet Collection, following two distinct approaches: “Enhance” (to highlight an existing facet of the fragrance by emphasizing a beloved ingredient) and “Transform” (to add new nuances and create surprising, unexpected, and original blends). A collection that celebrates the beauty of the senses, the art of contrast and the love for Italy, through fragrances that blend craftsmanship, memory and modernity in the timeless mastery of the Maison.
