Fragrance Description: Dark and mysterious, Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud tells a tale of opulence and seduction, unfolding among notes of tobacco, saffron, and dark woods. It’s a fragrance crafted from the finest ingredients—in a blend where East meets West—and is part of the exclusive Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Collection.
Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud opens with the note of tobacco, blended with the spicy glints of incense.

Smells great!
This smells really good. It’s a subtle tobacco smell. It’s not too strong. I love it.

Just tried at the store 2 hours ago, sprayed a few good sprays. Smells really good. But already it's faded quite a lot, you barely smell it...which has thrown me away from a buy...should be a prominent scent for half a day for this price point...gotta find another..

Scent barely projects, ended up returning
I was really excited to buy this fragrance because I wanted to experience something with oud. I tested it in-store a few times and loved the scent, so I finally decided to purchase it. But once I brought it home, I’m not sure if I got a faulty bottle but within minutes of applying it, I could barely smell anything. Even after multiple sprays, the scent disappeared within minutes, and no one around me could smell it either despite applying it for barely an hour. For the price, it’s just not worth it!

The great disappearing act
Has anyone who actually purchased this with their own money left a review? What an absolute joke. This is supposed to be a high end perfume, and for the price.. Not to mention it's an Oud! I purchased this as my winter scent, and the green as my spring scent. This absolutely vanished off my skin. To give it a fair chance I showered and sprayed my whole body, triple layered just to be sure I wasn't crazy. The only spot with a hint of smell after five hours was the inside elbow crease with my nose shoved all the way in my arm. Giving one star because the smells were calling my name and the packaging was gorgeous. Super disappointing.

Mysterious • Elegant • Alluring
Dolce & Gabbana’s Velvet Desert Oud is pure luxury bottled. From the first spray, it commands attention—smoky, mysterious, and undeniably sensual. The scent opens with a warm burst of incense and amber, wrapping around you like a velvet cloak. As it settles, the rich oud and soft musky undertones create an intoxicating blend that feels both powerful and elegant.
This fragrance is deep, unisex, and timeless—perfect for evenings or special occasions when you want to leave a lasting impression. It has remarkable longevity and a trail that lingers beautifully without being overwhelming. Think desert nights, soft embers, and confidence in a bottle.

Very woody
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Not my favorite scent. Definitely very woody and you can for sure smell the oud. Would not recommend if you prefer sweeter scents this is definitely more on the woodsy side. If you like that though, this lasts very long which is a plus.

By far one of my favorites!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this at first. After the first wear I was in love with it! It’s not too strong and has a pleasant sillage! I would wear this to dinner, a night out or simply to run errands! The packaging was also beautiful.

About the Fragrance: This is a leather oud fragrance created exclusively for Dolce&Gabbana by Alberto Morillas.
Alcohol, Parfum (Fragrance), Aqua (Water), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Linalool, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Limonene, Methyl 2-Octynoate, CI 19140 (Yellow 5), CI 60730 (Ext. Violet 2), CI 17200 (Red 33), BHT.
Suggested Usage: -Fragrance is intensified by the warmth of your own body. Apply in the creases of your knees and elbows for a longer-lasting, stronger scent. -After applying, avoid rubbing or dabbing skin. This breaks down the fragrance, causing it to wear off more quickly. -If you prefer placing fragrance on your wrists, be sure to reapply after frequent hand-washing, as this tends to rinse off the scent. -Replace fragrance after 12 months. Expired perfumes more than a year old lose the integrity of the original scent.
Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum?: The difference lies in the volume of perfume oil. While EDT contains five to nine percent, EDP contains more, usually eight to 14 percent. EDPs, therefore, last longer and smell more intense.
