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.
