Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Tender Oud Eau de Parfum 100ml

Dolce & Gabbana presents Velvet Tender Oud, a poetic and velvety Oriental Woody fragrance designed for both women and men. Launched in 2013 as part of the prestigious Velvet Collection, this scent offers a softer, more romantic approach to the legendary oud note. It is designed for the individual who seeks the mystery of the Orient blended with the lush, floral elegance of a Mediterranean garden. This 100ml bottle captures a delicate balance between the strength of precious woods and the tenderness of blooming roses.

The fragrance opens with a unique and inviting top note of Sweet Almond, providing a smooth, creamy, and slightly nutty introduction that immediately softens the composition. This glides into a rich, floral heart featuring a dual-rose accord of Damask Rose and Rose de Mai, creating a deep, honeyed, and sophisticated petallic center. The journey concludes on a sturdy and evocative base of Agarwood (Oud) and Woody Notes, ensuring a warm, resinous trail that feels both grounding and incredibly luxurious.

Top note: Sweet Almond.

Middle notes: Damask Rose and Rose de Mai.

Base notes: Agarwood (Oud) and Woody Notes.

How to Use:

Pulse Points: Apply to the inside of your wrists and the base of your throat. The natural heat in these areas helps the creamy almond and deep rose notes merge seamlessly with the oud base.

Avoid Rubbing: Gently spray and allow the fragrance to air-dry. Rubbing the skin can break down the delicate almond and rose molecules, causing the fragrance to lose its "tender" floral character and jump straight to the heavier wood notes.

Application Tip: For a more enduring presence, apply to well-hydrated skin. The resinous agarwood in the base acts as a natural fixative and adheres better to moisturized surfaces, extending the life of the floral heart.

Evening Elegance: While it is "tender" the presence of oud makes this particularly effective for evening wear or special occasions, where its sophisticated and romantic trail can be fully appreciated.
