Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Exotic Leather Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Valmont Rose-forward fragrances benefit from timeLeather opens warm and almost sweet not the petrol station kind, but leather you'd find on a vintage jacket or the back of an old car seat. Exotic woods and amber settle underneath, so it reads closer to skin than costume. Unisex EDP, 100ml.
