The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Velvet Desire by Dolce&Gabbana is a floral fragrance created by perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux. The composition centers around the lush, creamy notes of tuberose and white florals like frangipani, gardenia, and amaryllis, creating an opulent and velvety texture. The heart introduces tropical accents with champaca and orange blossom, while a warm base of peru balsam, amber, cinnamon, and vanilla adds depth and sensuality.
Apply Velvet Desire to pulse points for an intimate warmth that lasts through the evening. The strong sillage means it reads best close to skin rather than filling a large space. It blooms fully within an hour, so plan accordingly.
