DRIES VAN NOTEN
VELVET VIOLET
Eau de parfum
Violet leaf, sesame and softly toasted grains.
VELVET VIOLET by Dries Van Noten from the Patterns collection explores the contrast between green violet leaf and the warm, nutty texture of sesame. Pink pepper and sage sharpen the opening, while barley adds a toasted grain nuance to the heart. Tonka bean, benzoin and vetiver shape the base of this woody eau de parfum, giving its unusual pairing a softly rounded finish.

Our Impressions
Our Impressions of Velvet Violet
Velvet Violet brings a tactile idea into fragrance through an unexpected pairing of leaf and seed. The green opening offers a clear contrast to sesame and barley, whose warm, toasted impression gives the centre a distinctive texture. Tonka bean and benzoin add roundness, with vetiver keeping the composition anchored.
We imagine it alongside the first autumn knits, a contemporary gallery visit or a relaxed evening with carefully chosen details. It offers an intriguing direction for clients who enjoy woody fragrances and want to explore a nutty, grain-like warmth without abandoning green freshness.
