VELVIONE

Velvione is a high-performance synthetic musk molecule celebrated for its smooth, creamy, and long-lasting scent, often described as a soft second skin. Part of the macrocyclic musk family, Velvione offers a clean, lactonic muskiness with subtle floral, fruity, and powdery undertones, lending a luxurious, velvety texture to fragrance compositions. Unlike harsher or more powdery musks, Velvione is gentle and enveloping, with exceptional radiance and depth, making it ideal for use as a base note in everything from airy florals to warm ambers and minimalist skin scents.

History & Production: Developed by Symrise, Velvione is a biodegradable and eco-friendly alternative to older polycyclic or nitro musks, meeting modern safety and sustainability standards. Its molecular structure allows it to fuse seamlessly with the skin, giving fragrances remarkable longevity and a softly diffusive aura without overwhelming the other notes. Often compared to the natural muskiness of ambrette seed, Velvione enhances compositions with sensuality, warmth, and a feeling of purity. It is especially favored in niche and luxury perfumery for its ability to create fragrances that feel clean, comforting, and intimately personal—like soft cashmere on bare skin.
