Velvet Wood by Dolce & Gabbana belongs to the houses' The Velvet Collection series launched in 2011.
The start of Velvet Wood smells of a cleaned-up version of soft-spoken sweet sandalwood to me, however, Velvet Wood actually has no sandalwood, but containing ebony wood, benzoin and leather according to fragrantica.com.
The scent itself does not develop much, just becoming more tamed and closer to the skin. The distinct sweetness of wood disappears within minutes and leaves the tamed version of this scent lingering.
With regards to the notes, I hold that it still simply smell of cleaned-up sandalwood to me, the benzoin and the leather? Maybe they are there giving me the official ‘tamed’,vaguely unsweetened vanilla-y softer overall feeling to the whole scent.

Nice scent to have if you like discreet woody scent that is rather unisex.
