The Strength Spectrum

Discover the range of fragrance concentrations and why we choose Parfum.

Fragrance exists on a spectrum, from sparkling, airy mists to deep, enveloping blends. Here’s how to tell them apart:

Extrait / Parfum (20–40% perfume oils): Rich and luxurious with a refined trail that lingers 8–12+ hours.

Eau de Parfum (15–20%) – Full-bodied presence with elegant lift, lasting 6–8 hours.
Eau de Toilette (5–15%) – Bright and crisp, perfect for daytime, 3–5 hours.
Cologne / Eau Fraîche (2–5%) – Airy, sparkling refresh, 1–3 hours.

Perfume Oils/Attars (Oil-based) – Intimate, alcohol-free, and long-wearing, 6–12+ hours.

Our Signature Choice: Parfum

At Velvet Oud, we champion Parfum for its richness and staying power.

Stay power you can count on: A few sprays for all-day presence.
Richer character: Layers unfold slowly, revealing nuance and depth.
Gentler on skin: Less alcohol, more of the good stuff.

Better value per wear: No constant top-ups, just a confident trail.

How to Wear It

Apply 2–3 sprays on pulse points such as neck, wrists, and chest. Do not rub, let the fragrance bloom naturally.

The Art of Layering

Why Layer?

Signature, not standard – Blend notes to craft something unique.

Longer wear – Combine oils with Parfum for a smoother, extended trail.

Day to night – Refresh or deepen your scent without starting over.

Seasonal control – Lighten in summer, enrich in winter.

How to Layer in Three Steps

At Velvet Oud, we champion Parfum for its richness and staying power.

Stay power you can count on: A few sprays for all-day presence.
Richer character: Layers unfold slowly, revealing nuance and depth.
Gentler on skin: Less alcohol, more of the good stuff.

Better value per wear: No constant top-ups, just a confident trail.

The Strength Spectrum

Understand top, heart, and base notes - and how they shape the story

Every fragrance tells a story in three acts:
Top Notes – The first impression. Bright, fresh, and often citrus, herbal, or fruity. These last around 15–30 minutes and set the mood.

Heart Notes – The character. Florals, spices, and rich accords emerge once the top fades, lasting 2–4 hours. This is where the personality shines.

Base Notes – The foundation. Deep woods, musks, amber, or oud create depth and linger for hours after the heart fades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Velvet Oud?

Velvet Oud is a U.S.-based luxury fragrance destination curating standout oud and niche perfumes from the Middle East and around the world. We carefully select each scent to ensure authenticity, quality, and everyday wearability.

Are your fragrances authentic?

Yes. All fragrances sold at Velvet Oud are 100% authentic and sourced directly from trusted brands and authorized partners. We do not sell replicas or imitations.

What is oud?

Oud is one of the most prized ingredients in perfumery, known for its rich, warm, and long-lasting aroma. While traditionally used in Middle Eastern fragrances, modern perfumers now blend oud with fresh, floral, and woody notes to create more wearable and versatile scents.

Are your perfumes suitable for everyday wear?

Absolutely. While some fragrances are bold and statement-making, many of our curated scents are designed to be worn daily. Our collection includes fresh, soft, and modern blends alongside deeper oud profiles.

I’m new to oud. Where should I start?

We recommend exploring our Fresh, Woody, or Signature Scents collections. These fragrances offer smoother, more approachable introductions to oud and niche perfumery.

Do you ship within the United States?

Yes. We are U.S.-based and ship orders nationwide with fast, reliable delivery.

Are your fragrances unisex?

Most of our fragrances are unisex and designed to be worn by anyone. Scent preference is personal, and we encourage you to explore based on notes and mood rather than gender labels.

Do you offer returns or exchanges?

Due to the nature of fragrance products, all sales are final once opened. If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact our support team and we’ll make it right.
