What does Vanilla Oud smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. More voters call it masculine, but a fair share see it as feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

It opens with bergamot, rhubarb, saffron and apple. The heart carries amber, oud, rose and jasmine. In the base, vanilla, caramel and tonka bean sweeten it, while sandalwood and cedar add a woody depth. The sweetness is softened by a creamy warmth. Tom Ford Noir Extreme and Joop! Le Bain have a close profile.
