About

Velvet Rose & Oud opens with a dark, jammy rose, rich and full-bodied, steering clear of anything too sweet or saccharine. As it settles, a smooth, warm oud emerges, subtly grounding the floral heart without ever becoming too animalic or challenging. Hints of spiced sweetness and a velvety texture round out this opulent scent, making it feel both luxurious and inviting.
