Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Black Patchouli celebrates the story of the opening of doors to the East, an intricate composition, blending rich notes of Tarocco orange, woody patchouli oil and cistus absolute. This enigmatic scent that conjures Sicily's unique melding of cultures is part of the Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Collection, luxury fragrances embroidered on lush velvet, offering an invitation to discover and explore the brand's creative vision. An intimate and authentic voyage expressed through their designers' olfactive memories and their love for Italy. Created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux exclusively for Dolce&Gabbana, Velvet Black Patchouli opens with zesty Tarocco Sicilian blood orange, which mingles with fruity, balsamic notes of Indian davana oil and is offset by the dry earthy facets of Indian papyrus. Aromatic clary sage powers the heart of the fragrance, with its fruity floral quality giving way to pungent coriander seeds and the heady opulence of rose accents. Then comes the signature of the fragrance. Rich, woody patchouli with hints of spice and subtle spiciness coalesces with akigalawood and precious cistus. The iconic, weighty glass flacon is topped with a black velvet-trimmed stopper with golden accents. The flacon is also personalized with an engraved golden plate and comes encased in a black velvet coffret.
