What does Oud Wa Vanillia smell like?

The scent reads as one piece: vanilla sweetness and a gourmand side, balanced by the resinous, smoky and spicy depth of the oud. Egyptian jasmine adds a soft floral layer over this dense cover. The overall impression is warm and oriental.

Longevity is rated good, while sillage stays moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with leisure and evening wear leading. Votes for feminine and masculine are fairly close, so it suits both. Les Indémodables Vanille Havane (Eau de Parfum) and Alkemia Fumé Oud à la Vanille have a close profile.
