Velvet Plum

Lalique's Velvet Plum, released in 2019 and composed by Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel, is a floral fragrance at heart, with a strong woody side and a soft musky veil. It is presented as a feminine scent.

The flowers are rich and varied. Osmanthus brings a soft, apricot-like fruitiness with a faintly leathery edge, tuberose a creamy, heady sweetness, and heliotrope a powdery, almond-like warmth. Iris adds a cool, elegant powder that gives the bouquet a refined texture. Underneath, the composition turns woody, with patchouli and woodsy notes giving an earthy depth, while cashmeran adds a soft, musky, almost suede-like warmth. Musk finishes it with a smooth, skin-like softness.

The velvety, powdery character suits autumn and winter, evenings and dressier occasions, though it is soft enough for daytime wear in cooler weather. It should appeal to people who like rich, powdery florals with a warm woody and musky base, and those who enjoy a softer, more textured take on tuberose.
