Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Crystal Smoke

Crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, this mineralic spicy creation explores the duality of Incense and Star Anise, two ingredients steeped in history that pay homage to the wisdom of ancient Egypt and the mysticism of Sicily. Velvet Crystal Smoke is a fragrance where the divine and the earthly entwine. The journey begins with the spicy aromatic nuances of Star Anise, whose burning aroma was once believed to ward off evil spirits, intertwined with Incense, whose rich and resinous scent was celebrated by the Egyptians as the ‘Scent of the Gods’. This ethereal duo is illuminated by a crystalline blend of Mineral Woods and salty Ambergris, once revered as the ocean’s floating gold. The composition then evolves into a warm and resinous background of Patchouli and Fir Balsam, culminating in a hypnotic fragrance of contrasts — one that balances shadow and light. The fragrance is encapsulated in the iconic glass flacon of the Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Collection, topped with a light grey velvet cap adorned with golden accents. Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Crystal Smoke is presented in a sophisticated black velvet coffret, embellished with the fashion-inspired Dolce&Gabbana gold plate.
