The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, Velvet Passion Oud by Dolce&Gabbana is crafted by perfumer Paul Guerlain and brings together the rich warmth of tobacco and oud with the vibrant freshness of passionfruit. The composition opens with a bold burst of passionfruit and tobacco leaf, before transitioning into a heart of saffron and rose. It settles on a base of labdanum and oud, creating an enveloping aura of depth and sophistication.
Apply Velvet Passion Oud to pulse points for an intimate experience. The passionfruit top notes are fleeting, so it's best applied close to the skin to fully appreciate its depth. It pairs well with a cozy evening in.
