The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 and created by perfumer Alex Lee, Velvet Infusion by Dolce&Gabbana is a fresh take on the Aromatic Green genre. The fragrance opens with vibrant bergamot and Italian mandarin, creating an immediate burst of citrus freshness that is both invigorating and uplifting. Pink pepper adds a subtle spiciness to the top notes, while black tea and mate infuse a hint of earthy warmth into the heart. Cedarwood provides a woody base that grounds the composition, ensuring it remains fresh yet sophisticated. Velvet Infusion embodies the brand's signature Italian elegance, offering a modern twist on classic scents.
Apply Velvet Infusion to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The citrus and spice notes are bright but fade within an hour, so ensure that you layer it well with the woody base notes to maintain its complexity throughout the day. It’s best suited for daytime wear as the freshness complements morning activities.
