A rather strange opening of a very slight vetiver combined with a slightly green, bitter note, akin to pineapple, strangely enough. The dry-down revealed a coconut-like note on my skin, and within about an hour, there was nothing left...not on my short list, nor my long list, for sure!
Unfortunately, the quality of Velvet Collection doesn't fit the price ($200). The one scent that I can highlight is Velvet Desire, an intense and powerful white floral with an accent on tuberose.
To say about Velvet Vetiver, it quite reminded me of Hugo Boss Bottled Sport, but with better components. This is rather citrusy and summery vetiver scent. Vetiver here is not oily or smoky but green in a modern way and I don't find this modernity sophisticated enough for the hi-end fragrance.
This is gorgeous! Reminds me of Hermes Vetiver Tonka, but D&G's Velvet Vetiver is softened by fig rather than the overtly sweet tonka bean. I tend to find the vetiver in Vetiver Tonka a little strong for my taste and it can give me a headache, but it's well balanced here.
The opening is a vetiver powerhouse but after a few minutes it calms right down and the fig comes through with a soft creaminess. I think the vetiver and fig work perfectly together. The end result is sophisticated and well-rounded. Some may feel that it lacks complexity but I (uneducated heathen that I am) see nothing wrong with a simple scent that is well executed.
I highly recommend sampling it if you get the chance. I wish I could wear it, but it's too masculine for me. I think this is definitely a man's fragrance.
It seems to me to be very good.
In fact, this whole new range seems to be very good.
Each time I am more impressed with D&G.
In addition to perfumes, is a brand that has been stated in all areas in which it involves.
Cheers, that's what I want to D&G.
