Velvet-

Velvet- is a 2021 eau de parfum by Commodity, worn by anyone. It is a soft, warm, spiced rose that moves from a clove opening to a creamy vanilla and musk base.

Clove bud opens the fragrance with a warm, slightly sweet and festive spice. The heart pairs rose petals, fresh and velvety, with roasted almonds, which give a toasty, nutty sweetness, so the floral side feels cosy rather than sharp. The base is close and comforting: skin musk gives a warm, clean, body-like softness, vanilla a creamy sweetness and amber a golden glow that rounds off the composition.

Its warm, gently spiced character suits autumn and winter, everyday wear and relaxed evenings. It is likely to appeal to anyone who enjoys soft, skin-like gourmand roses with a spicy almond twist rather than bright, fresh florals.
