What does Vanilla CO₂ & Oud smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, pink pepper and rum; in the heart, cocoa absolute, cocoa butter, benzoin and vanilla take over, giving the sweetness a creamy softness. The base settles on Cambodian oud, sandalwood, amber and labdanum, a resinous, woody floor softened by musk and tonka bean.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads somewhat more masculine, though it is described as unisex. Commodity Gold and Nicolaï Saint Honoré have a close profile.
