Discover Velvet Desert Oud by Dolce&Gabbana from the exclusive Velvet Collection, a Unisex Eau de Parfum inspired by the mystery of desert landscapes and built around a dark composition of incense, leather and oud enriched with tobacco, saffron, amber and musk.
The fragrance opens with tobacco and incense, creating a rich and smoky introduction. It then moves into a warm heart of saffron, amber and leather, before settling into a deep base of oud and musk that leaves a sensual and enigmatic trail.
Dolce&Gabbana describes Velvet Desert Oud as capturing the mysterious power of the wind blowing across desert dunes, with incense and oud at its core. The Maison also highlights tobacco, saffron and dark woods, presenting the fragrance as a meeting point between Eastern richness and Western sophistication.
Created by Alberto Morillas for Dolce&Gabbana, Velvet Desert Oud was launched in 2013 as part of the Velvet Collection. Specialist fragrance sources describe it as a Unisex woody-oriental composition with smoky and resinous facets, while Dolce&Gabbana currently defines its olfactory signature as Leather Oud.
