Velvety Mystique
A velvet night in golden crystal — creamy orris and sandalwood gliding under a spellbound moon.
Velvety Mystique is the Maison's quiet spell — clary sage and creamy orris over sandalwood and ambergris, drawn from a night crossing under a low full moon.

THE GATHERERS OF VELVETY MYSTIQUE
They take the hardness out of the night.
The Woodlouse works the orris root under the stone, where it is coldest. The Silverfish takes the milk from the paper it has been spilled on. The Firefly gathers nothing but light, and the Snail carries the sandalwood home slowly, as she carries everything.

Verified Buyer · Quiet luxury
“Quiet luxury in a bottle — sandalwood and vanilla that feel like a cashmere wrap. My most-reached-for scent of the year.”
