My latest fragrance purchases: Velvétail Sphynx & Greyhound
Has anyone else tried this brand yet? I am a huge animal lover so when I stumbled upon this brand I was immediately intrigued. As an iris lover, the two that stood out to me right away were Greyhound and Sphynx. I ordered samples, and now my full bottles have arrived! Here are the website descriptions:
Greyhound:
Streamlined elegance in motion, Greyhound by Velvétail Perfumes captures sleek power and refined momentum. Created by perfumer Anunsith Wongkornvanich, the fragrance opens with bitter almond, black pepper, and cardamom—an energetic burst that feels sharp, focused, and precise.
At the heart, cashmere, iris, and elemi introduce a smooth, tailored softness that adds depth while maintaining a modern, polished edge. As the scent settles, vanilla, amber, clove, and patchouli create a warm, magnetic finish that remains close to the skin.
Elegant, dynamic, and unmistakably confident, Greyhound leaves a quiet yet unforgettable impression—an olfactory silhouette defined by speed, grace, and effortless style.
Fragrance Notes
Top: Bitter Almond, Black Pepper, Cardamom
Middle: Cashmere, Iris, Elemi
Base: Vanilla, Amber, Clove, Patchouli
Sphynx:
Sphynx is bare honesty wrapped in warmth—a fragrance for those fully at ease in their own skin. Quietly sensual and effortlessly confident, it opens with saffron and iris, smooth and softly luxurious, like silk against skin.
At the heart, nutmeg and leather unfold with warm texture and understated depth, creating a feeling that is intimate, raw, and refined all at once. In the drydown, tonka bean, amber, and vetiver leave a soft, addictive warmth that lingers close, comforting and unforgettable.
Mysterious without distance and confident without excess, Sphynx is made for those who never need to explain themselves.
Fragrance Notes
Top: Saffron, Iris
Middle: Nutmeg, Leather
Base: Tonka Bean, Amber, Vetiver
Impressions:
Both of these are very beautiful, elegant scents. Greyhound is an odd little love. The sharper top notes initially left me uncertain, but as it settled on my skin its softness came forth and it wiggled its way right into my heart, until I knew I had to have it. It's a contrast of cool spices and woods over a warm, ambery base, and I think I will be reaching for it a lot this autumn. Sphinx was an insta-love for both my partner and I. It is smooth, refined, with a noticeable iris note and a hint of sweetness. The leather and vetiver notes are not prominent but more of supporting notes that add body and depth.
I haven't tried all of Velvétail's other scents yet, but I plan to at least get samples of each. Funnily enough, one of our dogs is a Chinese Crested, and of the animals Velvétail offers so far, the ones that most resemble him are the greyhound (he has the body structure, speed, grace and temperament of an Italian greyhound), and the Sphynx!
Both Scent Split and Zgo Perfumery offer samples and full bottles, not sure who else carries them.
