About This Perfume
Think Smoky resin incense with warm amber: that is Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Amber Sun. It opens with cinnamon, coriander and pepper, moves into vanilla, ylang-ylang and smoky notes and settles on frankincense, amber and Australian sandalwood. It reads unisex.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits nights out. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and sweet for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike resinous fragrances.
Around $355.
