Velvet Gaïac

Velvet Gaïac by N10S, released in 2025 and composed by Shadi Samra, is a smooth, smoky woody scent with a soft, sweet finish. Everyone who describes it calls it woody; a sizeable minority also find it gourmand, and a smaller group notices spicy, floral, amber or citrus sides.

Bergamot and cardamom give a brief, bright, slightly green opening. Iris adds a cool, powdery softness through the middle that gives the scent its velvety character. Guaiac wood is the core, smoky, slightly sweet and faintly rose-like, supported by cedar for dryness and cashmere wood for a smooth, enveloping warmth. Patchouli adds earthy depth, and vanilla, tonka bean, amber and musk round the base into a soft, creamy, long-lasting drydown.

Velvet Gaïac is worn by anyone. Its smooth, smoky woods suit autumn and winter and work for both day and evening. It will appeal to someone who likes woody scents that feel soft and comforting rather than dry or austere.
