Veleno Doré
by Laurent Mazzone Parfums
Veleno Doré is a complex, luxurious tobacco chypre that leans into sweet, warm spices with a prominent cherry and rum character. It opens with sharp notes of chili pepper and nutmeg, giving it an initial pungent, almost medicinal intensity that some find overwhelming. The heart settles into a smooth, well-blended tobacco and patchouli base, accented by amber and vanilla, creating a rich, decadent dry down. While the scent is widely perceived as unisex and best worn in winter or night, it has a dry, enduring quality with notable longevity that some find impressive. It evokes old money elegance, with a deeply crafted and addictive character that leaves a strong impression on skin. Like some fine wine, it's not immediately appealing to all, but those who connect with it describe it as confidant-building and uniquely layered.
