Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Incenso

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, thick sweet resin, like tree sap or balsam.

It opens on elemi and black pepper, moves through incense and labdanum, and settles on benzoin, amberwood and vanilla.

• elemi: lemony pine resin, sharp and slightly peppery
• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
