About This Perfume
Think smoky incense resin, peppery cedar warmth: that is Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Incenso. It opens with African frankincense, black pepper and elemi resin, moves into frankincense resin and Spanish cistus and settles on benzoin, American cedar and patchouli. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2018.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length. 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 smoky for casual days.
- Sample first if: smoky is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike resinous fragrances.
Around $355.
