Fragrance information:

The fragrance Dirty Velvet by Vilhelm Parfumerie was introduced in 2016, becoming part of the world of niche perfumery.

This unisex perfume reflects a modern approach to fragrances, combining unexpected accords and emotional depth.

Identity of Dirty Velvet

Dirty Velvet is a perfume water that has attracted attention since its release for its contrasting nature.

Created by the American niche brand Vilhelm Parfumerie, known for its artistic vision, this fragrance is part of a line where each bottle tells a unique story, often inspired by the creator's personal memories.

Positioning and Character

Classified as unisex, Dirty Velvet is suitable for anyone who appreciates complex and sensual compositions.

With a noticeable sillage, it is ideal for evening outings or special occasions where its character can fully unfold.

The fragrance belongs to the woody, fruity, and aromatic families, making it versatile for different seasons, especially well-received in cool weather.

Authors and Influence

The creation of Dirty Velvet involved two outstanding perfumers: Jan Vilhelm Ahlgren, the brand's founder, and Jérôme Epinette, known for his contribution to niche perfumery.

Their collaboration brought a balance between innovation and classic elegance to the fragrance, strengthening Vilhelm Parfumerie's reputation as a brand that boldly experiments with notes and textures.

If you enjoyed Dirty Velvet, you might be interested in similar fragrances, such as Corine de Farme Douceur Nature Figue, Old Navy Kindred Goods Sea Salt & Fig, and Perfumology Grange, which also explore fruity and woody themes.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Dirty Velvet begins with a fresh accord of pomelo, which creates a bright and citrusy start.

In the heart of the composition, juicy fig and smoky tobacco unfold, adding fruity sweetness and warm depth.

The base of the fragrance is built on mineral salt, creamy sandalwood, and earthy vetiver, which imparts longevity and sensual completeness.

This multi-layered structure allows the fragrance to evolve smoothly on the skin, from the initial freshness to a lasting warm trail, reflecting the note groups: citrus, fruity, mineral, and woody.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The fragrance is truly unusual. In the hotel where I stayed, scents of the sea, fig, pomelo, and salty air wafted in through the open window. The room was a bit smoky, which added a certain charm. Overall, it's intriguing, but I wouldn't dare to wear such a perfume. For an experiment, of course, one could try something similar ))

The name just screams. In the salon, the consultant told me: "red velvet, on which cream was poured" I wonder what the author meant? 😏 With velvet, yes, I agree - soft tobacco and rough vetiver confirm that. But there's not a drop of cream here! Plenty of fruit juice though! 🍹

What an interesting scent! It combines sweetness, freshness, and a slight bitterness, which makes it quite unusual. It really puts you in the mood for a holiday somewhere in the Mediterranean, where the sun shines and the sea beckons 🌊
4/5

Here, fig clearly stands out; it's present throughout. Soft leather, which isn't overpowering, and a bit of dry tobacco are added to it. I really liked how the fig combines with the leather; it feels truly natural. The fragrance lasts simply wonderfully
3/5

Salt-treated leather, perhaps that's what the creators had in mind when choosing the name. For me, the fragrance isn't fruity; fig doesn't register as a standalone note. The salty element here isn't just salt, but rather brine
4/5

This fragrance blends notes of fig and vetiver with a light tobacco accent. On one hand, it's fruity, but at the same time, tobacco gives it its special tartness. It's not entirely what I like, but it certainly sparks interest
