The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Fragrance Du Bois and crafted by perfumer Christian Carbonnel, Velvet Amber is a Woody Spicy fragrance that weaves together rich and earthy notes with warm spiciness. The composition opens with the freshness of lemon and bergamot, complemented by cardamom's sharpness. As it settles, leather and oud bring depth, while rose adds a touch of floral warmth. Patchouli and sandalwood ground the scent, making Velvet Amber a blend that feels both luxurious and intimate.

How to wear it

This scent is best applied in layers, allowing the warm base notes to develop fully. The longevity is impressive, so a light spritz on pulse points will ensure it stays close to your skin throughout the day.
