DOLCE & GABBANA VELVET VETIVER UNISEX EDP 100ML TESTER
Velvet Vetiver by Dolce & Gabbana is a refined green-woody eau de parfum. Italian bergamot, artemisia and galbanum open onto Smyrna fig and clary sage, drying to smoky Haitian vetiver and maritime pine. Understated and elegant for warm weather.
Rooted in the Earth, Elevated by Italian Artistry
Velvet Vetiver is an exploration of contrasts — the raw vitality of wild Mediterranean herbs meeting the smoky, rooted depth of Haitian vetiver, all rendered through Dolce & Gabbana's signature lens of Sicilian luxury. This unisex fragrance is bold yet understated, earthy yet immaculate, a singular work of olfactory craftsmanship that rewards patience and rewards skin with beauty that unfolds over hours.
The Olfactory Story
The fragrance opens with an invigorating blast of Mediterranean greenery — Moroccan Artemisia and Wild Savory create an almost untamed herbal energy, while Italian Bergamot and Cedrat deliver bright citrus lift. Galbanum adds a sharp resinous edge that foreshadows the complexity below. The heart unfolds with quiet elegance: Smyrna Fig lends a milky, sun-drenched sweetness, Lentisk Resin adds a woody aromatic dryness, and Blue Eucalyptus introduces a cooling clarity that plays beautifully against the warmth of Clary Sage. In the base, Haitian Vetiver — one of the most prized raw materials in haute perfumery — anchors the composition with its smoky, rooty gravitas. Maritime Pine adds cool resinous depth, Vanilla softens the composition with quiet warmth, and Nirvanolide contributes a sheer, skin-hugging radiance that keeps the fragrance intimate and enduring.
Scent Profile
Performance
Longevity: 8-12 hours on skin. Sillage: Moderate to strong — an intimate trail that commands presence.
Occasion & Season
Velvet Vetiver is a fragrance for the cooler months — autumn evenings, winter dinners, and those quiet moments when presence speaks louder than words. Its earthy, aromatic duality makes it as fitting for a formal business setting as it is for an intimate evening gathering. Wear it when you want to be remembered without being obvious about it.
Style Profile
The wearer of Velvet Vetiver is confident, deliberate, and drawn to the understated over the ostentatious. This is a fragrance for the individual who appreciates complexity in all things — from art and architecture to the quiet power of a masterfully composed perfume.
Brand Heritage
Dolce & Gabbana was founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in Milan. The Velvet collection celebrates Italian artisanship and Sicilian opulence, each fragrance inspired by a precious fabric texture. These tester bottles contain the full fragrance with identical formulation to retail — only the presentation box differs.
