Velvet Passion Oud Eau de Parfum

Lush passion fruit and smoky narghile open into saffron-rose warmth, then dry down to resinous cistus and smooth, opulent oud.

Scent Development and Character

A dense fruity-oud composition that opens with a lush passion fruit brightness against a smoky narghile/tobacco impression, then turns to saffron-rose warmth before settling into resinous cistus and a smooth, opulent oud base. It feels plush, slightly exotic, and shadowed rather than airy, with a textured sweetness that stays elegant instead of syrupy.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to cool evenings, dressed-up settings, or any time a rich fruity-oud signature is wanted. It wears more as a confident statement than a discreet skin scent. Best in autumn and cool weather. Sillage is Moderate projection with a noticeable trail in the opening and early drydown. Longevity is Above-average longevity; expected to last most of the day on skin, especially on clothing. These are editorial estimates derived from the official composition and concentration and will vary with skin and climate.
