Velvet Sicily, from Dolce&Gabbana was released in 2018. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, middle notes of Jasmine and Rose, and base notes of Heliotrope, Musk, and Sandalwood.
Sicily is an interesting scent, one I have spent time deciding whether I actually like it or not. The original Sicily lists a dominant banana accord which seems to be missing in this re-release unfortunately. This is a sweet creamy white floral at its core, and a good one at that. The pure, delicate soapy freshness of orange blossom and other white florals is what makes up the bulk of this scent - it’s gentle and unassuming in its journey. An array of other florals join in as well, alongside a certain fluffy creamy facet which I can only imagine is coming from the sandalwood and heliotrope. Overall it’s a nice scent. I wouldn’t have grouped it in with the Velvet line as Dolce & Gabbana eventually decided to do, as it doesn’t smell as expensive and luxurious as the others within that range. As I said, it’s a nice white floral but nothing groundbreaking or too memorable.
