The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 and created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Velvet Love by Dolce&Gabbana is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of Italian luxury. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes, which create an immediate warmth and energy, leading into a heart of yellow florals that are rich and vibrant without being overpowering. This floral bouquet is underscored by a warm, sweet, and woody base that adds depth and longevity to the scent, ensuring it remains close and comforting throughout the day.
Apply Velvet Love with two sprays to the pulse points — it blooms slowly, so give it time to develop on your skin. The spicy notes are most noticeable in the first hour, but the woody base ensures a lingering warmth throughout the day.
