The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Dolce&Gabbana, Velvet Cypress is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that encapsulates the essence of Italian elegance. The composition opens with Sicilian lemon and bergamot, bringing an invigorating freshness to the forefront. As it develops, cypress and galbanum introduce a green, slightly spicy undertone, while clary sage adds depth and warmth. The base notes of cedar provide a grounding earthiness that ties everything together, creating a scent that is both fresh and sophisticated.
Apply Velvet Cypress lightly to your pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but short-lived, so a few well-placed sprays will ensure that the woody base notes have time to develop fully. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its fresh and invigorating character can shine.
