By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens Velvet Flora with a limpid, green-tinged citrus that feels more like crushed leaves than zest. Jasmine and lily arrive within minutes, lifting the structure into a clean white-floral heart that stays sheer rather than creamy. Cedar and patchouli thread quietly underneath, supplying dry wood and a faint earthiness that prevents the bouquet from floating away. As the citrus fades, moss and musk settle on skin, creating a soft woodland carpet that smells shower-fresh yet gently grounded. Projection stays polite—arm-length at most—so the scent reads as freshly laundered fabric rather than statement perfume. The overall wear is linear once the top recedes, making it a reliable choice for office days when you want to smell laundered, not perfumed.
