The Story

Launched in 2013, Velvet Desert Oud by Dolce&Gabbana is crafted by Alberto Morillas and captures the essence of an opulent Middle Eastern landscape. The fragrance opens with a smoky incense note that immediately evokes the mysterious charm of desert nights. As it evolves, oud takes center stage, its rich and complex character mingling with sweet amber to create a seductive warmth. A powdery musk base adds depth and longevity, leaving behind an unforgettable trail.

Application Tips

Apply Velvet Desert Oud to pulse points for maximum impact. The smoky top notes dissipate quickly, but the warm amber and powdery musk base will remain close to your skin throughout the day.
