Velvetine (2025)

7.5

Pineward · 2025

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Pineward Velvetine is a unisex scent led by Tonkin musk, dragon's blood and labdanum, sweet, resinous and smoky in character. Fir and cypress absolute give it a dark, woody base. Vanilla and ambergris soften the sweetness, while Mysore sandalwood and mousse de saxe deepen the earthy side. Clove adds a spicy warmth, and the animal accord keeps the scent full-bodied rather than smooth. Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as moderate, so it sits dense close to the skin and lasts. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Pineward Velvetine (2021) and Tom Ford Amber Absolute have a close profile.

Citrus · Floral · Green

Voters find the longevity very strong and the sillage strong, though the vote count is small, so this is an early impression. It reads dense and characterful, with an unisex feel. It shares a close profile with Lost Tribe Threat and Sultan Pasha Attars Cuir de Russie.
