Dirty Velvet
Dirty Velvet by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot and elemi, moves into leather and labdanum and dries down to patchouli and papyrus. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Heart
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.
