Velvet Desert Oud is more than a fragrance—it’s an olfactory escape into the warmth, mystery, and sensuality of the Middle East. Launched in 2013 as part of Dolce & Gabbana’s exclusive Velvet Collection, Velvet Desert Oud invites both men and women to experience a luxurious interpretation of Eastern perfumery through a modern, Italian lens.
Like a breeze rolling across endless dunes, this scent envelopes the senses in a powerful yet comforting blend of incense, oud, amber, and musk. The opening reveals an intoxicating burst of classic incense—dry, rich, and smoky—evoking the mysticism and ceremony of ancient desert rituals. Within moments, the heart unfurls into velvety oud and resinous amber, offering warmth and depth with every breath. The oud is dark and woody, but balanced by the amber’s golden sweetness, creating a texture that feels both exotic and timeless.
As the fragrance settles, a soft musky trail emerges—smooth, powdery, and endlessly seductive. This final accord lingers like a memory, leaving a magnetic aura on the skin. It’s the kind of fragrance that speaks in whispers but commands attention—a true signature scent for those drawn to bold elegance.
Dolce Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud is part of the luxurious Velvet Collection, a line of exclusive scents inspired by the rich traditions and sensual culture of Italy and beyond. With Velvet Desert Perfume, Dolce & Gabbana pays tribute to the art of perfumery with refined craftsmanship, rare ingredients, and impeccable composition.

The 50ml flacon is crafted with minimalist sophistication—thick glass, velvet accents, and gold detailing—delivering the prestige and craftsmanship you expect from the house of Dolce & Gabbana.
