Oud Et Vanille En Majeste Perfume Oil

The olibinum in this makes it smell like cherry Chapstick if they made a premium version for the rich and classy. Quite subtle on the skin, you’re not going to get projection with this, but if someone gets close to you it is kind of nice. Unlike some vanillas, I think this could be worn anytime of year and basically anywhere. Non-offensive (because largely unnoticeable) for work.

This smells like you're sniffing the inside of a papercup after a mocha vanilla coffee you've just finished drinking. In constant fight between feminine and masculine. Very good quality blend! Filled my room. Now I am curious about the remaining oils from the collection, will keep an eye online.

Vanilla pods and a vaguely salty and softly spicy oud. Best suited in cool weather, is strong in the first 30 minutes before it calms down to a skin scent. Definitely needs to be reapplied. A uniquely cool offering from Zara.

Like the other reviewer said "definitely more vanilla than oud". It transports me back to the mid 90s when I wore the Body Shop Vanilla perfume oil in high school. It's a skin scent for sure, at first I get lovely warm vanilla but I'm not crazy about the later part of the dry down where it turns a bit "play-doh" on my skin (there's a few vanilla base fragrances that have this affect on me). I dabbed some on before bed on my wrist and I can still smell it when i held my wrist close to my nose the next day. It's an okay kinda meh for me, much prefer "Inestimatible Santal".

Based on the reviews I was expecting really faint vanilla. I applied it on my wrist and it's actually quite strong and you really get the oud. It's really sweet and fluffy vanilla with dark oud. Interesting. I bought it not to wear on it's own but to layer it as a base for other vanilla perfumes and get more longevity out of them, so I don't mind if the sillage is not great. For the price, its good.
