Velvet Crystal Smoke

Velvet Crystal Smoke from Dolce&Gabbana is a woody, ambery fragrance with a leathery edge, released in 2026 and composed by Alienor Massenet. It is presented as shared.

Star anise opens it with a sweet, liquorice-like spice, and mineral notes add a cool, stony freshness, which gives the crystal of the name its sense. Balsam fir and fir bring a resinous, forest-like greenness, almost like pine needles warmed by the sun. The base is smoky and warm: incense gives a dry, resinous smoke, patchouli an earthy depth, woody notes a dry frame, and ambergris a salty, luminous glow that lifts the darker elements.

Worn by anyone, it suits autumn and winter, evenings and smart occasions where a smoky, polished scent feels at home. It will appeal to someone who likes incense and woods with a cool, mineral and resinous character rather than sweetness.
