Velvet Amber Skin

Dolce&Gabbana's Velvet Amber Skin, from 2017 and composed by Christophe Raynaud, is equal parts floral and amber, with strong spice and lighter gourmand, resinous and citrus sides. It is made for anyone.

Bergamot gives it a brief bright opening, quickly warmed by cloves and cinnamon, with a faint herbal touch. The floral heart brings rose and iris, the first velvety and full, the second cool and powdery, softening the spice. As it deepens, the amber character takes over. Labdanum and myrrh form a dense, resinous core, sweet, balsamic and slightly smoky, while honey and vanilla add a golden sweetness and leather a smooth, darker texture. A dry, woody glow carries the finish.

This is a rich, warm composition best suited to autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions. It should appeal to people who love spiced, resinous ambers with a floral heart, and who enjoy fragrances that feel like warm skin wrapped in honey and resin.
