Velvet Alibi embodies mystery and seduction: a fragrance for those who know every memorable night needs a flawless alibi, elegant on the surface, forbidden beneath the skin. It was born behind the window of a perfumery on West 27th Street, in Prohibition-era New York, where crates of incoming essences hid bootleg whiskey and the neighbourhood's businessmen vanished through a door nobody admitted to knowing.

It opens on golden Honey that seizes attention at once, warmed by Saffron and joined by the velvety flesh of Fig and the powdery grace of Violet. At its heart, Rose intertwines with Osmanthus, with its shades of apricot and suede, and the radiance of Jasmine. A bold, mysterious contrast unfolds in the base with the intensity of Oud and Leather, softened by Vanilla and enriched by a precious touch of Whiskey: proof that the alibi never really held up.
