The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Dolce&Gabbana, Velvet Sicily is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that evokes the essence of Sicilian sun-drenched days. The top note of Sicilian Bergamot introduces a bright, citrusy freshness that gives way to the heart notes of Jasmine and Black Rose, creating a floral bouquet that's both delicate and intense. The base notes of Heliotrope, Australian Sandalwood, and Musk offer a powdery warmth reminiscent of freshly washed laundry dried in the sun. This composition is further enriched by the almond pastries specific to Sicily, making Velvet Sicily a sensory journey through Italian elegance.
Apply Velvet Sicily to pulse points for a gentle warmth that blooms throughout the day. The powdery base notes develop slowly, so a light application in the morning will ensure a subtle yet lasting presence by evening.
