The story behind the bottle.
Crafted by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny in 2020, Velvet Fire by The Harmonist is a rich and complex Oriental Fougere that balances aromatic freshness with warm, smoky depths. The composition opens with clary sage and cypress, creating a fresh and invigorating start before transitioning into the heart of myrtle and neroli, which adds a touch of floral brightness. At its core, tobacco and oud form the soul of Velvet Fire, offering a robust and sensual warmth that is further enhanced by tonka bean and labdanum, providing an earthy sweetness.
Velvet Fire develops gradually, so apply it lightly in the morning for an evolving experience throughout the day. The tobacco note will project strongly once settled, making it ideal for evenings or cooler weather when you want a rich, enveloping aroma.
