Velvet Passion Oud

Velvet Passion Oud, released by Dolce&Gabbana in 2025 and composed by Paul Guerlain, is a woody fragrance with strong spicy, sweet, green, floral and resinous sides. It is a smoky tobacco and oud scent worn by anyone.

It opens with tobacco leaf, which gives a dry, honeyed warmth, hookah, which adds a sweet, fruity smoke reminiscent of shisha, and passionfruit for a juicy, tart sweetness. The heart pairs saffron, a warm, leathery spice, with rose, velvety and rich. The base is dark and resinous: labdanum brings a deep, balsamic warmth, and agarwood (oud) a smoky, resinous woodiness.

Its mix of smoke, tobacco, rose and oud suits autumn and winter evenings, formal occasions and nights out. It is likely to appeal to those who enjoy rich, smoky and slightly sweet oud fragrances with a distinctive shisha-like tobacco twist.
