Which Should You Buy?

- You prefer a sophisticated scent.
- You appreciate a floral twist.
- You are on a budget.
- You like intense leather notes.
- You want a bold, divisive scent.
Smoky, dry leather with a tobacco edge, and huge longevity. It commands a room without any sweetness to soften it, so save it for cold nights when you want to be noticed.
Divisive yet undeniably popular, Velvet Oud is a steal for those who appreciate a bold leather scent with good performance. Some love its rich character, others find it a "synthetic mess".

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Leather, tobacco and woods are dense and warm: autumn and winter, with a cool spring night possible.
Occasions
A formal-event and evening scent with plenty of authority, workable for dinners, and too much for the gym.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
With strong projection and long-lasting wear, Velvet Oud is too assertive for most office settings. It's ideal for dates and formal events due to its sophisticated, luxurious leather and amber accords, but can also work casually in cooler weather if applied lightly.
