About This Perfume
Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Desire comes across as creamy white flowers, sweet spice on warm amber. It opens with frangipani, amaryllis and white gardenia, moves into champaca concrete, Indian tuberose and jasmine and settles on amber, Peru balsam and siam benzoin. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 2011.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
