Oud Vanille

Franck Olivier Oud Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. The fragrance opens with Raspberry, Caramel, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Jasmine, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Woody, Spicy, Musk, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Oud Vanille: Acquired

Oud Vanille is a divisive but ultimately impressive cheapie. While some find it cloying or old-fashioned, most rave about its niche quality and beastly performance for the price. If you can handle a bold, sweet oud-rose, this is an absolute steal.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear projection and long-lasting nature, Oud Vanille is far too potent for office wear, where it would overwhelm. It's best suited for evenings and colder weather, making it ideal for date nights and formal events, though its intensity means casual daytime wear should be restricted to minimal sprays.

About

Bold and unapologetic, Oud Vanille opens with a syrupy burst of raspberry and caramel, quickly ceding to a rich heart of jammy rose, violet, and smoky incense. The dry down is a powerful embrace of woody notes, warm spices, and a deeply sweet vanilla, underpinned by a not-so-subtle musk. This is a scent that makes its presence known, with an almost gourmand sweetness tempering the dark, complex oud accord.
