Amber, oud and a whisper of vanilla — poured, not sprayed. VELOUR moves with the air around you, like the smoke on this very page.
A bright, almost metallic flash — the sound of a curtain rising. Cold citrus over warm spice.
The velvet itself. Smoked Damascus rose folded into Laotian oud — dense, dark, unhurried.
What stays on the collar. A golden, resinous warmth that outlasts the evening by design.
Each batch of Nº 9 rests for nine months in oak-lined vats before bottling — an extravagance most houses abandoned decades ago. We kept it, because time is the one note that cannot be synthesized.
“A perfume should enter the room half a second after you do — never before.”
— Hélène Vasseur, nose of the house
A pocket flacon in matte brass. For the ones who travel light and land heavy.
The faceted amber flacon, hand-polished, numbered and sealed in wax.
Aged eighteen months instead of nine. Two hundred flacons a year. That is all.
Complimentary engraving and a 2 ml vial of Grande Réserve with every signature flacon.
