Velvet Tender Oud

Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Tender Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Velvet Tender Oud opens with Almond, settles into a heart of Rose and Rose, and dries down to a base of Oud and Woody. Dolce & Gabbana's Velvet Tender Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

Dolce & Gabbana's Velvet Tender Oud is a divisive beast: some praise its nuanced rose and gentle oud, while others decry it as a harsh, unoriginal clone. If you're after a Turkish Delight in a bottle, this might be your jam - or a synthetic headache.

About

Velvet Tender Oud opens with a sweet, almost gourmand almond, quickly ushering in a rich, velvety rose. At its heart, a subtle yet persistent oud emerges, blending seamlessly with woody undertones. This creates a deeply sensual, warm composition where the floral and nutty aspects soften the potentially harsh oud, resulting in a complex yet wearable oriental woody scent. Expect a long-lasting journey from sweet floral to deep woody resonance.
