Fragrance Notes
The Scoop
A bold new statement in the world of gourmand oud scents, Vanilla Oud combines a delicate mix of three gorgeously different vanillas with the softest facets of Thai and Cambodian oud to create a fragrance both profoundly striking and remarkably comfortable.
From the very first moment, Vanilla Oud stands out, greeting us with the sparkling spiciness of jungle pepper and pink pepper, which smoothly flows into a floral wave of jasmine enriched by juicy notes of apricot. At the heart of the fragrance lies Maksim's breathtaking signature vanilla accord: three types of natural vanilla, carefully aged to impart warmth and gentle sweetness. This rich center is supported by subtle accents of ylang-ylang, adding a touch of softness and refined luxury to the composition. The final accord is a velvety, gently smoky oud blend drawn from sustainable sources in Thailand and Cambodia, woven into the blend to highlight the nobility and depth of the previous sweet notes without any of the heaviness or harshness sometimes associated with oud, enveloping the wearer in a warm aura that unfolds with lavish smoothness on the skin- a tale of treasured natural ingredients crafted into a sensual masterpiece. Romantic, profound, and richly comforting, Vanilla Oud represents Maskim's dream of showcasing the softer side of real oud.
