Velvet Dawn

Inspiration

According to Lootah, Velvet Dawn captures the balance between elegance and quiet intensity. It opens with bright bergamot and cardamom, moves into a refined heart of orris and cypress, then melts into warm vetiver, tonka, vanilla, amber and musk, creating a smooth, powdery depth that feels timeless.

Velvet Dawn is one of the newer fragrances in The Classic Collection.

The Signature of Velvet Dawn

Cardamom runs like a thread through the opening and the heart. Paired with bergamot, it is cool and aromatic, almost like green tea.

The heart revolves around orris, one of the most precious materials in perfumery, with a powdery, slightly rooty softness. Carrot seed reinforces that earthy side of orris, while cypress adds a green, resinous freshness and cistus a touch of amber.

The base is velvet-soft, as the name promises: vetiver for dry depth, tonka and vanilla for warmth, amber and musk for a skin-like glow.
