The story behind the bottle.
Velvet Zafferano Limited Edition by Dolce&Gabbana, launched in 2025 and crafted by master perfumer Aurélien Guichard, is a luxurious Oriental Woody fragrance that celebrates the spirit of Ramadan. This limited-edition release honors saffron, often referred to as the "king of spices," with its warm, spicy character leading into the deep smokiness of tobacco leaves. The composition unfolds with earthy patchouli and the velvety sweetness of vanilla, complemented by luminous amber and cistus labdanum, creating a mesmerizing, multi-faceted scent that exudes sophistication.
Apply Velvet Zafferano close to the skin for a warm and intimate experience. The saffron and tobacco notes are most pronounced in the first hour but give way to a rich base that lasts throughout the day. Best suited for evenings or special occasions, where its depth can be fully appreciated.
