Rituals Velvet Oudh is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026. Velvet Oudh opens with Lemon, Saffron, and Plum, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Rose, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Oud, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Rituals's Velvet Oudh carries a Favourite verdict, a oud-led wear.

If you're seeking a proper oud that doesn't hold back, this Rituals gem is a surprisingly bold contender. It's an unapologetic, rich, and slightly naughty oud experience that delivers far beyond its price tag.

About

This isn't your average shy oud-lite. Velvet Oudh opens with a juicy burst of plum and lemon, warmed by saffron, before diving headfirst into a rich, slightly skanky oud heart. Rose and cypriol oil add a complex floral and woody depth, while a smooth vanilla and earthy patchouli base ensure a creamy, sexy drydown. It's a confident, full-bodied Middle Eastern fantasy.
