The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oriental Velours by Les Indemodables was launched in 2016 and is a creation of Florence Fouillet Dubois. This fragrance opens with an aromatic, green freshness that gives way to a woody warmth underscored by vanilla and amber notes. The composition balances the crispness of its top notes with the rich, enveloping embrace of its base, creating a scent that feels both modern and lasting. It is neither overly sweet nor spicy but rather a harmonious blend of natural essences that evoke comfort and sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points — the warmth of your skin will activate the aromatic top notes while allowing the rich base to bloom gradually. This fragrance works best for evening wear when its warm, enveloping qualities can be fully appreciated.
