20.2 ÉGLISE DE VELOURS Eau de Parfum

Paris, July 1997: a haute couture atelier makes its final preparations for a show. Velvet chairs, rolls of fabric and silk fill a room whose working silence feels almost ceremonial. This memory inspires Église de Velours, a velvet church where incense becomes intimate with skin.

Incense is the principal theme of this woody amber and musk fragrance. Olibanum and myrrh meet hinoki wood, while a blend of musks adds velvety softness. The resins keep a contemplative atmosphere, now expressed as something warm, bodily and sensual.

Powdery and woody nuances lend delicacy alongside the resins, with musk making the incense feel softer. Église de Velours suggests a caress rather than sharp smoke or cold stone. The atelier and the church share a ceremonial mood, where rich fabrics and silence meet the personal warmth of fragrance.

Fragrance notes: Olibanum, myrrh, hinoki and a blend of velvety musks.

This fragrance is for you if: you enjoy incense and woody fragrances with powdery softness, warm musk and a contemplative, sensual atmosphere.

This fragrance may not be your best match if: you mainly seek sharp smoke, a cold mineral impression or a very dry, austere resinous character in incense.

Choose this fragrance if: you want incense that suggests the touch of velvet: olibanum and myrrh beside hinoki wood and soft musk.

How to apply — general guidance: spray onto clean, dry skin, for example on the neck or the inside of the wrists. Allow to dry without rubbing. Avoid contact with the eyes and follow the instructions on the packaging.
