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

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.
