Velvet Oud is a leather-and-oud Eau de Parfum with cardamom and bergamot, violet leaf and patchouli, then suede, oud, amber, musk and oakmoss; Lattafa also describes incense. Suede is the soft centre, and the name is a good guide: it's oud as smooth leather, not the spiced oud of Oud for Greatness.
What Wearers Say
One wearer enjoys the smooth, sweet leather with fruity undertones and a smoky, creamy drydown.
Another wearer finds the leather too strong, preferring it softened with vanilla or tonka. The sweet-leather fan also wishes the scent lasted longer.
Great for
Someone who likes sweet leather with a fruity, smoky edge.
Not for
Someone who only enjoys leather as a mild accent, or who expects oud to be the sole focus.
