Introducing the new collection of fragrances by Dolce & Gabbana: Velvet Incenso. A dark, mysterious veil fluttering over honey-hued stones in the Mediterranean light. Fragrant smoke blending with the plumes rising from the majestic Mount Etna. For centuries, volutes of burning incense have risen from the palaces of Sicily.

In Velvet Incenso, the perfumers Cécile Matton and Julie Massé turn the complex facets of the age-old ingredient, also known as olibanum, into a glittering mosaic of sizzling resins. Vibrant incense essence is set alight by a spark of black pepper essence, obtained from a cutting-edge extraction that preserves the aroma of a freshly crunched peppercorn. With its citrus and pepper facets, elemi essence echoes these opening notes, its resinous burn introducing the darker heart of the fragrance.

The Velvet Incenso Collection

The Orient and the Mediterranean world meet as incense resinoid, more balsamic and intense than the essence, smoulders over cistus absolute, an ambery resin drawn from typical trees of Sicilian hillsides. Benzoin resinoid adds its cinnamon and vanilla sweetness. Smooth patchouli essence and powerful amber wood extend the magical trail of Velvet Incenso deep into the night.
