Velvet Crystal Smoke Eau de Parfum

A polished mineral-smoke incense with star anise sparkle, salty woods, and a dry resinous finish.

Scent Development and Character

A mineral-spicy incense fragrance built around star anise and incense, with a crystalline, salty mineral-wood accord and a trace of ambergris. It wears as a dark but polished smoke: aromatic at first, resinous and airy through the heart, then dry, woody, and subtly salty in the drydown.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to cool evenings, dressed-up settings, and anyone who wants a refined smoky scent with presence rather than sweetness. It reads more intimate than loud, with a steady, architectural feel. Best for autumn and winter, with some spring evening wear. Sillage is Moderate sillage with a controlled smoky aura rather than heavy projection. Longevity is Moderate to long-lasting, typically about 6-8 hours on skin. These are editorial estimates derived from the official composition and concentration and will vary with skin and climate.
