Pas de Velours
Les Nereides presents Pas de Velours, a warm and enveloping eau de parfum launched in 2020 in France. Its character rests on a rich vanilla and amber heart, softened by balsamic sweetness and a yellow floral thread, with a smoky, faintly resinous depth running through it. Incense sits at the centre of the composition, lending a quiet, contemplative smokiness that keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy.
The development is gradual. The sweet and floral elements announce themselves first, then the incense and woody notes emerge with a dry warmth, and a soft powdery finish settles into the skin. Warm spice and woody accents add structure without sharpening the overall feel, so the scent reads as cosy rather than sugary.
It tends to sit close to the skin, offering a moderate trail that is noticeable at close range without filling a room. Expect it to last a good part of the day, though it is not an especially long-wearing scent.
Pas de Velours suits evenings and cooler months most naturally, although its balance of warmth and smokiness also makes it workable for professional settings and relaxed daytime wear across the seasons. It is a versatile choice for those who enjoy vanilla and amber in a refined, understated form.
Presented as an eau de parfum in a 30ml bottle from Les Nereides.
