Launched in 2013, Velvet Tender Oud by Dolce&Gabbana unfurls one note at a time to reveal its mysterious character. The fragrance begins with the sweetness of almonds before evolving into a red velvet floral heart featuring Damask Rose and Rose de Mai. This delicate balance is then accentuated by a full-bodied smoky oud and light, dry woody base notes that create an intriguing contrast. Velvet Tender Oud captures the essence of Italian luxury with its rich and complex composition.

Application Tips
Apply Velvet Tender Oud in layers for maximum impact. The sweet almond top note fades quickly, so two sprays will ensure that the smoky oud and woody base notes have time to emerge and linger throughout the day.
