Velvet Desire

by Rodrigo Flores-Roux

Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Velvet Desire opens with White Amaryllis, Frangipani, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Champaca, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cinnamon, Peru Balsam, and Vanilla. Dolce & Gabbana's Velvet Desire carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Velvet Desire is a stunning, plush white floral that screams 'classy lady'. It's a creamy, timeless tuberose bomb, unapologetically feminine and luxurious. If you love a rich, heady floral, this is pure gold. Some find it a bit too heady or soapy initially, so sample before you splurge.

Its potent initial projection and rich, white floral nature make it less suitable for an office, as some find it heady. However, it's perfect for dates and formal events, exuding elegance and sensuality, and can work for casual wear if applied lightly.

About

Opens with an intoxicating bouquet of creamy white florals, predominantly gardenia and frangipani, lending a rich, almost tropical lushness. This quickly deepens into a warm, unctuous tuberose heart, supported by jasmine and orange blossom, creating a scent that feels both classic and beautifully rounded. The base arrives with a subtle embrace of amber, cinnamon, and vanilla, adding a soft, sensual warmth without steering it into gourmand territory.
