3-D carnation
Of all the luxurious Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Collection, Velvet Love is the most unusual and the only i would consider having (I liked Velvet Vetiver too, but as the others, it is a quite safe fragance, despite being executed with ingredients of a very fine quality)

Velvet Love contains a wonderful carnation. If i had to buy in this very moment a carnation fragance it would be a tough call between Velvet Love and Etro´s Dianthus, that i remember being greener. I have to say, the pink suede of the bottle (and let alone the name) is quite off-putting, and in my opinion, misleading, since you expect something tender and fluffy and ultra-femenine.
The scent of carnation is quite unique but sometimes in my head it blends with the (i had to look it up in the dictionary) hoary stock scent, that we call "alheli" here and it is a much prettier name. Now that both are growing in my terrace, i see that while they share a clove-ish spiciness, the carnation is warmer and deeper, while the stock is more high pitched and expansive. In Serge Lutens Vitriol d´Oeillet (that i like quite a lot, too) they come together, but Velvet Love is unmistakably a carnation fragance. I wonder if they have used authentic carnation absolute for this (it could be, considering the price) but if not, the construction of this note is wonderful.

The ingredients list is pretty eloquent by itself. Carnation, pepper, ylang. And heavy doses of all of them. The furious carnation has here some bright green facets, specially in the beginning (a chartreuse green ones, mind you) and settles in a very spicy white floral, smartly balanced with a dusty, caustic black pepper on one side, and the ylang enhancing the dense, intoxicating lily quality of the fragance. It is a strong perfume, good sillage, but despite its intensity, Velvet Love is extremely smooth, and wont catch you gasping for air. The peaks of each ingredient have been aligned so we have an even surface where all this materials are perfectly blended in an almost invisible creamy, doughy, slightly smoky, vanilla and heliotrope base.

My Narcissus
I was particularly curious about this one. The pyramid reads minimalist. A simple, natural clove? Not with Dolce and Gabbana!
Already upon spraying, I notice: This smells very familiar to me... *thinking*... ah, the good old Chloe Narcisse! Immediately dug it out and applied it to the other arm.
Velvet Love has a bit less apricot sweetness, but exactly the same spicing (cinnamon without clove, pepper, I can identify benzoin); more modest sillage, not as intense, but the same floral mix (marigold, ylang-ylang, narcissus around the garden clove, maybe also a violet leaf and surely a few roses and jasmine)!
The similarity remains throughout, VL a bit more vanilla and everything flatter and on low heat, which Narcisse has.
It feels like someone bought the recipe and modernized it. As a reformulation, it would easily pass!

Pepper Bomb - that's not love!
Very much pepper, a little garden clove, Ylang-Ylang is suffocated to death by the pepper bucket... When I press my nose very close to my wrist, I can also smell amber, although it's not listed in the pyramid. Nothing to do with love... What a pity.

p.s. After an hour it turns into ...sim-balabim, schwabra-kadabra ... what do you think? Right, Donna Karan Black Cashmere.

For clove fans, this could mean the end of the search. I've never smelled clove so fine, soft, and elegant before. Super!

sensual-spicy, non-sticky-sweet, powerful and with depth
an unusual combination of clove with ylang creates a velvety floral shawl

I love this velvet. I guess I've outed myself as a clove fan. But it's more of a scent for the colder season.

Super velvety clove scent with a hint of pepper at the start. Otherwise, there’s no further development. Only for clove fans.

Velvety autumn scent, for me more clove than flower. I can't imagine a man wearing it.

Very interesting clove, surrounded by spices, definitely not an everyday scent. Lasts long. Overall, a true enrichment!

First a lot of pepper, then a lovely blooming carnation, not too rich/heavy/old-fashioned. H/S could be stronger or more powerful. I like it!

An uncomplicated yet very erotic scent. Delicate, feminine, velvety, flattering. Close to the body, but by no means shy.
