A self-possessed perfume for a person who doesn’t need anything, but craves everything. This is excess with control, 70s-era Bianca Jagger wearing Halston, lighting up the Studio 54 dance floor. Carine is a fiercely chic patchouli with an ample gardenia and jasmine cleavage, trussed in a corset of vetiver. Sighs of rose and amber sail through the trail of this Dominique Ropion composition. Confident, elegant, insolent.

The colors of the day are melting. In the shadows, feelings take surprising shapes. The night is calling. Softness is in the air. Silent connections form. The alchemy is real. Two shadows. One.

Sombra is a dirty shadow of tough rose and oud, spiced with saffron and nutmeg. Tolu balsam bathes the composition in a twilight effect of almost-sweet tobacco and leather, for an animalic result that purrs.

A total delight, a Shahmaran dark rose with spicy spikes. This precious rose grows on a rock of amber and this makes its aroma deep and honeyed.

That was Bloom’s fragrant fairy tale take on describing 1001’1 Nights.

It’s a very poetic perfume inspired by the Arabic saga, a maze of stories inside a story. The materials (rose, incense, sea salt) and aesthetics (it’s a rich and generous oriental blend) totally would have fitted Scheherazade’s nights.

Furthermore, there is a dark, green undertone from the davana herb which contrasts with the silkiness of the rose.

About Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours by Bottega Veneta

How does Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours differ from these fragrances?
Eau de Velours combines chypre floral elements with leathery and fruity accents, balancing freshness with depth. Many fragrances here share some notes but differ in sweetness, smokiness, animalic qualities or freshness, providing varied interpretations rather than exact matches.
What makes a fragrance chypre floral like Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours?
Chypre floral fragrances typically feature a citrus top, floral heart, and a mossy or woody base. Eau de Velours uses bergamot and pink pepper for freshness, rose and jasmine for florals, and leather and patchouli for depth, creating a classic yet modern chypre floral.
Can I find a fragrance with the same leathery element as Eau de Velours here?
Sombra by D:SOL MMXVI shares the leather note and adds black pepper and rose, giving a similarly rich, animalic leather feel. However, it is more intense and exotic compared to the smoother leather in Eau de Velours.
