Velvet Honey Santal

Velvet Honey Santal, created by Aurélien Guichard for Dolce&Gabbana in 2025 and worn by anyone, is a warm, resinous amber built around honey and sandalwood. Amber dominates people's descriptions, while a minority notice sweetness, woods and resin.

Sandalwood and honey open together, a creamy, smooth woodiness coated in a golden, sticky sweetness. The heart turns balsamic with styrax and gurjan balsam: styrax adds a smoky, slightly leathery resin, gurjan balsam a rich, woody warmth. The base is amber and benzoin, a glowing, vanilla-like sweetness that deepens and lingers. The short, focused list of materials makes the idea easy to grasp: honeyed sandalwood wrapped in warm resins. It suits anyone who enjoys cosy, ambery fragrances for cold weather, evenings and quiet indulgence, and who prefers warmth and softness to freshness, with a velvety, enveloping trail that feels comforting on skin and clothes alike.
