Some designer fragrances have a lot of complex ingredients. Others rely on just a few carefully chosen aromas, which combine to work in perfect harmony. Velvet Rose is a perfect example of the latter. It’s simple, yet devastatingly irresistable.

If you’re looking for a scent that harks directly back to nature, while offering something heady and sensual, then our version of this iconic fragrance might be exactly what you’re looking for. Here’s some more information about it.

Rose Oud perfume – the facts

• Top note of damask rose
• Central notes of praline and clove
• Base note of agarwood and oud

As you can see, this version of Velvet Rose keeps things minimalist and uncomplicated. It’s a confident scent that is immediately recognisable – no wonder it’s so well-loved by women across the world.

There are a few elements that make this Oud and Roses perfume really stand out. These include:

• The muskiness of damask rose. Damask rose is far richer and more musky than other roses, which makes it ideal for evening fragrances. It also has a hint of the exotic to it.
• The sweetness of praline. To prevent this fragrance from getting too deep and intense, praline is added, providing a punch of nutty sweetness. This is what makes the perfume suitable for daytime wear too.
• The bitterness of clove. Clove provides the ideal counterbalance for the rose and praline; giving a subtle bite to the aroma. It’s a hint of sharpness that cuts through the sweetness to perfection.
• The depth of agarwood. This luxury ingredient makes this Velvet Rose Oud-inspired fragrance really stand out. It’s also a long-lasting scent, which is still detectable several hours after the initial application.
• The exoticism of oud. Oud oil is one of the most high-end ingredients in the world, and has been prized by perfume-makers for centuries. It’s a rich, Middle-Eastern smell that’s very evocative.

Velvet Rose Oud – the experience

When you first apply our version of Velvet Rose and Oud, you’ll notice the strong, sensual scent of the damask rose, which settles beautifully into the skin after only a few minutes.

Give the fragrance a while to settle, then smell it again. This time, you’ll pick up on the great balance between the clove and the praline, which both add tanginess and sweetness to the musk of the rose. This is usually the aroma that people say is so instantly definable.

After another few hours, the aromatic depth of the oud oil and agarwood kick into action, providing a bold, exotic base for the other ingredients to work with. The overall effect? Alluring, mysterious and sensual.

Velvet Rose is undeniably powerful. There’s not a hint of the shy, retiring wallflower here. Instead, this is the ideal eau de parfum for women that want to attract attention.

Oud and Roses perfume – when to wear it?

Although this fragrance is potent, it’s surprisingly versatile and is suitable for a wide range of occasions, including:

• In the workplace. If you’re in a meeting or want to command more authority in the office, this scent definitely creates the right sort of effect.
• On a date. There’s certainly enough romantic allure to make this fragrance a great choice for a romantic evening.
• At a special event. If you’re going to a wedding or birthday party, Rose Oud perfume is a good ‘day-to-night’ option; remaining fresh and sweet enough for daytime, but also heady enough for the evening.
• As a day-to-night fragrance. If you’re planning on going out straight after work, this is an ideal choice. It’s a long-lasting scent that carries you smoothly from the office to a bar.
