Velvet Exotic Leather recreates the purest sensation of skin. It is the essence of a man, his scent and his masculinity, enriched with an elegant touch of leather. It is a sensual and sophisticated fragrance, one of Stefano Gabbana’s favourites. The heart of this woody-chypre fragrance is the black leather accord, with its incredible complexity. The key components of the leather signature are immediately perceived: cistus labdanum with its rich and warm nuances, styrax with its intense resinous notes and cade oil with its deep woody and smoky facets. The sweet and fresh elegance of the clary sage and lavender absolute combine with fir balsam and rum absolute, to create a dry, delicate, refined and fruity nuance reminiscent of vintage liquor. Olibanum and incense extend a warm enveloping touch, unmistakable and persistent.
