Green and woody in equal measure, Dirty Velvet by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a 2016 composition by Jérôme Epinette that pairs leafy tobacco with fig, wood and a fresh, salty air. About half of those who describe it also call it fresh and aromatic.
The listed notes are not divided into stages, but the effect is easy to follow. Pomelo gives a juicy, slightly bitter citrus brightness, while fig adds the milky green of leaves and unripe fruit. Tobacco leaf here reads less as smoke and more as dried, hay-like greenery. Vetiver brings an earthy, rooty dryness, sandalwood a soft creamy wood, and a touch of salt keeps the whole thing airy, like skin after a day outdoors.
Dirty Velvet is shared and worn by anyone. Its green, fresh side suits spring and early autumn, and it works well in daytime for people who like tobacco without heaviness or sweetness.
