The review
On paper, Velvet Desert Oud is a strong bet if you want Velvet Desert Oud for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Velvet Desert Oud's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 91% less than Velvet Desert Oud.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on saffron and bergamot, turns to rose and incense, and settles into oud, sandalwood and amber. That is the brief Velvet Desert Oud is working from.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
Heart
- rose
- incense
Base
- oud
- sandalwood
- amber
Saffron-lit rose sinking into agarwood and incense, D&G at its most serious.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud we can price, Velvet Desert Oud is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 The Dupe Spot Velvet Desert Oud $26/100ml
