DOLCE & GABBANA VELVET TENDER OUD UNISEX EDP 100ML TESTER
Velvet Tender Oud by Dolce & Gabbana pairs a honeyed sweet-almond opening with a rich Damask rose heart over full-bodied agarwood (oud) and soft woods. Warm, sensual and long-lasting for cool-weather evenings.
Oud Softened by Love, Roses Deepened by Rarity
Velvet Tender Oud is a masterpiece of contrasts — the ancient, deep, and resinous soul of Agarwood meeting the timeless beauty of the world's finest roses. This unisex fragrance takes the raw power of oud and wraps it in the gentlest of floral veils, creating a scent that is simultaneously bold and tender, primal and refined. It is a fragrance that tells of centuries of Arabic tradition reimagined through an Italian lens of incomparable elegance.
The Olfactory Story
The fragrance opens on an unexpectedly intimate note: Sweet Almond, soft and nurturing, creates a warm, slightly gourmand introduction that invites rather than demands attention. This gentle opening makes the heart notes all the more beautiful when they bloom — Damask Rose, one of the most celebrated roses in all of perfumery, unfolds with its rich, honeyed, deeply romantic warmth. Beside it, Rose de Mai — harvested only in May in the Grasse region of France — adds an incomparable freshness and luminosity, lifting the heart with a dewy, almost green-rosy clarity. Then comes the base: Agarwood, known as Oud, the most precious wood in perfumery, arrives with its characteristic dark, smoky, animalic depth that is as ancient as it is intoxicating. Woody notes provide a clean, modern structure that allows the oud to express itself fully without overwhelming the delicate florals above. The dry-down is deeply personal — a second-skin scent that evolves beautifully throughout the day.

Performance
Longevity: 8-12 hours on skin. Sillage: Moderate to strong — an intimate trail that commands presence.
Occasion & Season
Velvet Tender Oud is a fragrance for the evening — for candlelit dinners, intimate gatherings, and special occasions where depth and presence matter. Its warm, resinous character makes it ideal for autumn and winter wear, where the oud and woody notes come alive in the cool air. In the Gulf region, it carries the cultural resonance of a fragrance that bridges East and West with extraordinary grace.
Style Profile
The wearer of Velvet Tender Oud is someone of cultural sophistication — a person who appreciates the heritage of Middle Eastern perfumery and the artistry of European haute parfumerie in equal measure. They are drawn to rareness, depth, and the kind of beauty that only reveals itself over time.
Brand Heritage
Dolce & Gabbana was founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in Milan. The Velvet collection celebrates Italian artisanship and Sicilian opulence, each fragrance inspired by a precious fabric texture. These tester bottles contain the full fragrance with identical formulation to retail — only the presentation box differs.
