"We have put our memories and our roots into the VELVET fragrance collection, which have the same vibrant, hedonistic heart as Sicily and Italy. With each one, we invite you into our world." – Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabanna.

Inspired by the roots of the designers, is Sicily an always-present theme (as may be the Sicily fragrance from 2003, since they share some main notes?). The new fragrance represents, "the perfume of passion, the scent of a woman, the essence of Sicily." (via) The citrus-floral composition on a powdery and musky base is made to evoke the smell of fresh washed laundry, dried in the sun. A heliotrope accord together with sandalwood reminds of almond pastries specific to Sicily, along with citrus and floral notes on the top.

Top notes: essence of bergamot Heart: black rose, jasmine from Grasse Base: heliotrope, sandalwood, musk

Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Sicily is available as a 50 and 150 ml Eau de Parfum priced at USD $310.00 and $495.00.
