Launched in 2025 by Dolce&Gabbana and crafted by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, Velvet Honey Santal is a unisex fragrance that encapsulates the warmth of Italian elegance. The composition opens with honey and sandalwood, creating an initial embrace of sweetness and earthiness. This is followed by styrax and gurjan balsam, adding depth with their rich, balsamic notes. Amber and benzoin contribute to a powdery, spicy base that feels both comforting and slightly mysterious.
