Velvet Bergamot

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Bergamot

Velvet Bergamot launched in 2014 as part of D&G’s prestigious Velvet Collection, the brand’s niche luxury line of concentrated, extrait style compositions. It was an iris and coffee gourmand, built around bergamot and violet at the opening, coffee at the heart, and iris, patchouli and vanilla at the base, pulling iris into warmer, roasted territory than the usual cool grey powder.

The Story Behind the Scent

Our interpretation respects that concentrated character: a bright bergamot and violet opening, a rich coffee heart and a warm iris, patchouli and vanilla drydown.

We build it as a long lasting Eau de Parfum with a high perfume oil load, made in the EU, so you can enjoy the same refined character even though D&G discontinued the entire Velvet Collection.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original has been discontinued and is hard to find. We rebuild the same warm iris coffee gourmand character as an eau de parfum and sell direct, so you can wear it again without paying resale prices.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm iris coffee gourmand scent.

Notes

Top notes: Bergamot, Violet

How it Smells

The opening is bright and soft, bergamot lifted by a powdery violet.

The heart turns rich and roasted, a warm coffee giving a gourmand depth.

The drydown is smooth and refined, iris, patchouli and vanilla giving a warm, powdery, lasting finish.

Common Questions

How close is it to Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Bergamot?

Close on the character: an iris and coffee gourmand where bergamot and violet open, roasted coffee warms the heart, and iris, patchouli and vanilla ground the base, pulling iris into warmer territory than the usual cool grey powder. We build ours at a high concentration.

Is the original still available?

The original has been discontinued and is now hard to find, or only sold at high prices by resellers. Our version brings the same style back so you can wear it again without hunting for a bottle.

Is this the same perfume as Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Bergamot?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, created because the original is no longer easy to buy.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is made for anyone who loves a warm, refined iris and coffee gourmand.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
