Velvet Rope

Description

The dry but effervescent top notes call to mind the aroma of a chilled martini laced with zingy grapefruit peel. Subtle floral notes in the heart and dry vanilla bean in the base complete the cocktail; the warmth of musk creates a lingering finish.

An edgy unisex fragrance from hip Los Angeles boutique Apothia.

History

The Apothia boutiques have long been favored by those in the know for their must-have makeup and beauty items. Their second fragrance, Velvet Rope, was inspired by a “dry vanilla martini spiked with absolute jasmine and a twist of grapefruit”. A young and lively fragrance that captures the spirit of the West Coast nightclub scene, Velvet Rope is unique and completely unconventional. Available from Apothia and select retailers.

Bottle

The packaging is pared down but elegant: a simple square bottle with an equally simple label; the outer box features a velvet finish with burnout lettering.
