What does Smoked Oud & Vanilla smell like?

Saffron and coriander give a spicy start. In the heart, frangipani, narcissus, coffee and barley add a floral, gourmand softness. The base of suede, mahogany, tobacco and vanilla leads, and the scent settles into a woody, resinous, leathery warmth with a creamy sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Its dense, sweet, smoky character sits comfortably on either a masculine or a feminine wearer. Alexandria Fragrances Fatal de Vanille and Yves Saint Laurent Babycat have a close profile.
