Presented at Esxence in 2019 and signed by perfumer Wessel-Jan Kos, it is a glamorous, bold and sunlit floral chypre that the brand describes as sensual and enveloping: a tribute to Australia's emblematic flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Fragrance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVelvet Splendour is like pressing your face into a large bunch of sunburnt wildflowers, carried on the breeze of the Australian countryside. It is inspired by the blooming of mimosa, the wattle, which in the Flinders Ranges bursts into a sea of yellow and heralds the arrival of spring: the founder recalls seeing it stretch as far as the eye could see along the road. The fragrance paints this spring in broad impressionist strokes, with the soft yellows of the flowers against the blue of the sky. Like all of the house's creations, it combines Australian raw materials with French savoir-faire, at a concentration of 20% essences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Evolves on Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is radiant and effervescent: \u003cstrong\u003emandarin\u003c\/strong\u003e joins \u003cstrong\u003ealdehydes\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ehedione\u003c\/strong\u003e, which bring light and a feeling of clear air.
