What does Vanille Havane Coeur de Oud smell like?

Comorian vanilla and Colombian cocoa build a sweet, gourmand base, while Cambodian oud adds a woody, resinous, smoky depth. Egyptian jasmine stays in the background and softens the edges. The spicy and animalic accords give it a heavy, oriental feel.

Longevity is very strong and sillage strong, so a light hand is enough. Its dense, warm build suits cooler weather better. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on any skin. Les Indémodables Vanille Havane and Berdoues Oud Wa Vanillia have a close profile.
