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.
