Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With strong projection and long-lasting wear, Velvet Oud is too assertive for most office settings. It's ideal for dates and formal events due to its sophisticated, luxurious leather and amber accords, but can also work casually in cooler weather if applied lightly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Velvet Oud kicks off with a potent, almost sharp leather, quickly softened by a plush amber and smoky oud. There's an undercurrent of animalic warmth, occasionally touched by a fleeting citrus. As it settles, it smooths out, maintaining its rich leather core with a hint of warm spice that lingers on the skin, delivering a dark, luxurious feel.
