Velvet Royale is an eau de parfum by Habibi New York, the American house founded by Shakir Ahmed and Tabassum Khan, whose name means “my beloved” in Arabic. It is a velvety, sensual fruity floral with a powdery heart of violet and a warm, ambery base: leaning feminine, but suitable for everyone.
The Fragrance
Velvet Royale evokes the regal beauty of a special evening, when the soft glow of moonlight illuminates a garden full of violets. Inspired by the delicate complexity of violet, it is a perfume of elegance and mystery, of the kind of beauty that lingers in memory, created for romantics, creatives and anyone who loves soft florals with a warm soul. Handcrafted in small batches with a 25% concentration.
How It Evolves on Skin
The opening is fruity and slightly spicy: juicy plum meets the freshness of bergamot and the resinous note of elemi. In the heart violet blooms, accompanied by lily of the valley and made soft and velvety by cashmeran. In the base, patchouli, creamy vanilla and benzoin blend with the smoky veil of oud, in a warm, sensual, long-lasting trail.
Who We Recommend Velvet Royale To
We recommend Velvet Royale to those who love powdery, velvety florals with a warm, gourmand base, and to anyone looking for a romantic, elegant perfume for special occasions. It is perfect in autumn, in winter and on spring evenings, for a date, a dinner or a night at the theatre. It leans feminine, but suits everyone.
