“The main character starring in VE Velvet is a beautiful vetiver note, extracted not by distillation but by pressurized carbon dioxide; this is one of the methods by which you get the absolute, which is a richer, fuller, more fascinating raw material to work with. The result in this case is a dry vetiver, haughty and elegant, with just a pinch of softness consistent with the name it bears. The fragrance opens with a dry and bright bouquet, all played in freshness (cardamom, lemon, mint and elemi) introducing a woody accord (cedarwood, patchouli and vetiver). VE Velvet has the charm of the great perfumes of the past, both in term of raw materials (the citrus and cardamom opening evokes some classic Hermes of the 50’s and 60’s, and vetiver is … the history of perfumery condensed in a note!) and taste: elegant, linear, sober, without excess or dandyism. Paul Newman freshly shaven, leaving the shower wearing only a white towel and a big smile. But also on female skin it shows a great temperament! It remains intense and well perceivable without ever overdoing it, the with a duration of a few hours on skin makes it absolutely enjoyable.”
