What does Dua's Vanillac Aoud smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, so it tends to leave a clear trail and last a long time on skin. The number of ratings is small, so this is a rough guide. Being unisex, it suits both men and women.

As a whole the scent is sweet and woody. Bourbon vanilla absolute, sugar and coconut give it a soft, creamy sweetness, which tonka bean reinforces. Thai oud and rosewood build a woody, smoky base, while Madagascan ylang-ylang adds a floral touch.
