Floral · Fruity · Sweet
Régalien Diamond of Velvet is a unisex scent where saffron, birch tar and leather meet a sweet, fruity floral heart.
The top is violet leaf, orange, saffron and peach, with a fruity sweetness up front. In the heart, heliotrope, osmanthus and iris add a powdery floral softness, while spikenard and ginger bring an earthy, spicy edge. The base darkens with birch tar, leather and patchouli, and tonka bean and styrax close it on a sweet, oriental warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Voters pick it most for evenings and nights out, then for leisure; the largest share calls it masculine, though a good number find it feminine. Zara LTH/03 Know the Leather and David Jourquin Cuir de R'Eve have a close profile.
