The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 and created by perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Velvet Wood by Dolce&Gabbana is a Leather fragrance that weaves together warmth and depth. The composition opens with spicy notes that give way to an enveloping blend of leather and amber, grounded by a base of vanilla and woody accords. This scent embodies the Italian luxury fashion house’s signature style, offering a sophisticated and alluring aroma for both women and men.
This fragrance blooms best with a moderate application; one or two sprays are enough to allow the complex layers to emerge gradually. It's particularly well-suited for cooler evenings, where its warmth feels especially comforting.
