Launched in 2019 by Dolce&Gabbana and crafted by perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui, Velvet Oriental Musk is an opulent composition that merges the warmth of spices with the depth of musk. The fragrance opens with saffron and cardamom, creating a vibrant and spicy top note that gives way to the heart of damask rose and cypriol oil, adding both sweetness and earthiness. The base notes feature sandalwood, tonka bean, ambroxan, and cedar, delivering a rich and enveloping musky warmth.

Application Tips
Apply Velvet Oriental Musk directly to pulse points for a deeper warmth. The fragrance blooms slowly over time, so it's best worn in layers rather than one heavy application. This composition is perfect for cooler evenings when you want something that lasts through the night.
