SOTD: Commodity Velvet+

I'm a sadist!

At 7:40 am, I walked out the door to work wearing a fragrance line that I absolutely deprive myself of wearing.

Why?

Because I enjoy spoiling myself as a reward. I'm also a firm believer in not wearing the same fragrance everyday and knowing myself, I would wear the hell out of this fragrance line.

The Line:

Commodity Fragrances

The Fragrance:

Velvet+ of the Bold line

The Maker:

Jerome Epinette

From Commodity, "Like a chef who sources the best ingredients to create the most innovative dishes, our perfumers—or Makers as we call them—source the best ingredients to create the most innovative fragrances inspired by their namesake commodities."

(I love that!!!!)

The Pyramid:

Saffron, then Roasted Almonds and Rose Petals, then Vanilla, followed by Amber, and Patchouli.

The Inspiration:

As per Epinette, "For Commodity Velvet, I was inspired by the image of vibrant pink Turkish Rose Petals floating gently over a mysterious, dark background of richly warm Vanilla and Black Amber with a delicious touch of Roasted Almond drifting in the air. For Velvet+ Bold, Turkish rose is enhanced with exotic Saffron spice and sweet Vanilla. To finish, I merged Labdanum with the warmth and richness of Amber creating an intense, sophisticated and alluring fragrance."

The Feeling:

Confidence given aromatic life by floral, warm, and spicy notes; where every move made, every statement verbalized, and every action engaged with isn't perfect, but its so damn good that the praises heaped on you are seen as well deserved. Where YOU know people want what you have!

The Glow:

Immersive sillage with complimentary sparks within an 8 hour wear. That's the Bold+ power of Commodity's Scent Space working.

FINAL NOTE:

I love Commodity. I mean truly love them and the feeling of wearing anything from this comes with an emotional payoff. So whenever I wear or write about wearing anything from them, its due to the respect that have in their product. It goes without saying just how much I think highly of them. Velvet+ is my favorite after Milk, which is followed up by Gold+, Paper+, and Book+. It's a great wear that got so much better after 5 hours.
