The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Velvet Exotic Leather by Dolce&Gabbana is a fragrance that encapsulates the brand's signature blend of luxury and edginess. The composition opens with a fresh spicy accord, giving way to smoky, aromatic nuances over a rich base of amber and balsamic leather. This contrast creates a scent that is both sophisticated and daring, perfect for those who embrace their complex nature.
Apply this fragrance in layers for maximum impact — the smoky notes are most noticeable up close, so aim for pulse points. It pairs well with cooler weather when its warm spicy base can be fully appreciated.
