What do reviewers say about Gold and Velvet -?
Gold is unapologetically bold and animalic. The Civet and Ambergris in the base will polarize, and the Jasmine-Myrrh heart commands attention. It truly fills a room.Gold
Velvet earns its name honestly. Deep notes of vanilla, rose, and black amber get pulled close by skin musk, not muted, but made intimate. The smoky drydown isn't the kind that fills a room.Velvet -
