Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Passion Oud is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Paul Guerlain. Velvet Passion Oud opens with Tobacco and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Rose and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Oud and Labdanum. Dolce & Gabbana's Velvet Passion Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a tobacco-led wear.

Velvet Passion Oud delivers a divisive, high-impact take on fruity oud. It’s certainly not for everyone, with some calling it groundbreaking and others completely uninspired. Expect a bold, smoky fruitiness that demands attention, but don't expect it to redefine the genre.

About

An intoxicating journey begins with the exotic sweetness of passionfruit, quickly interwoven with the smoky depth of tobacco. The heart unfolds into a rich blend of rose and the distinct spiced leatheriness of saffron. The dry down is a sophisticated embrace of warm labdanum and a clean, non-animalic oud, creating a lasting impression of tropical fruit intertwined with dark, resinous woods and a hint of smoky allure.
