Velvet's deep notes of Vanilla, Rose and Amber are made sheer with Skin Musk. The dry down reveals an unexpectedly delicate and smoky silage for a breathable indulgence when it meets bare skin.
Comparisons
We started with Velvet Expressive: an ambery indulgence of roasted Almonds, delicate Rose petals, and sweet black Amber.
We then made the deep composition into a sheer Personal skin scent by incorporating Skin musk.
We then made a denser, deeper, and darker Bold rendition with an overdose of Amber, Patchouli and Labdanum.
Some people wear fragrances only for themselves—preferring scents that are discrete, close to the skin, only to be noticed by the ones they allow close. Others prefer a statement fragrance—scents that fill the room with their presence, to be noticed by everyone else. And of course, there are the people that fall somewhere in between—preferring scents that will land them compliments within their immediate radius and without overwhelming any space.
With this in mind, each Commodity fragrance is available in three different Scent Space concentrations—Personal, Expressive, and Bold—so that you can find your favorite fragrance in your preferred Scent Space.
Select a Scent Space:
Personal-
Ideal if you prefer a subtle, intimate fragrance only to be noticed by you and the ones you allow close. These lighter, molecular renditions only have a whisper of their 'Expressive' counterpart and embody the concept of less is more. Soft, ethereal and luxurious, there's no need to worry about how others are experiencing your fragrance.
Expressive
The Expressive collection marks our starting point. This collection is considered by many to be the perfect balance of longevity and projection. These fragrances will make a statement without overpowering any space. To be noticed by you and the many around you, these are your effortless, everyday scents.
Bold
There is no modesty when it comes to the Bold collection. These are amplified renditions of their 'Expressive' counterpart and embody the concept of more is more. Strong, statement scents that will grab attention and make a statement as they fill the room with your presence, these are for you and everyone else.
Ambery and delicate, this scent opens with notes of spicy Clove Bud. Then, as the minutes pass and the scent comes to life, you'll begin to notice Vanilla and Rose Petals. For the final drydown, delicate Skin Musks cling to the skin.
Try this fragrance in a Discovery Kit
The Personal Discovery Kit contains six soft yet luxurious fragrances. An ideal way to experiment with fragrance and find the one which speaks to you.
“For Commodity Velvet, I was inspired by the image of vibrant pink Turkish Rose Petals floating gently over a mysterious, dark background of richly warm vanilla and black amber with a delicious touch of roasted almond drifting in the air. For Velvet Personal, I used the delicacy of pink Turkish rose petals mingled with the freshness of coconut water and rich vanilla. I finished with warm white woods while removing the black amber to create a softer overall fragrance experience.”
