des Baux

by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni

L'Occitane en Provence des Baux is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. The fragrance opens with Cardamom, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Juniper, Cypress, Cinnamon, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, and Frankincense.

Our verdict on des Baux: Favourite

This one's a legendary cheapie, offering niche-level comfort at a high-street price, though its longevity causes a bit of mither. A cold-weather marvel with devoted fans, it's a must-try for anyone after a warm, spicy vanilla with a proper twist.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its warm, spicy and vanilla-heavy profile makes it perfect for date nights and casual autumn/winter wear. While it has moderate projection, its richness isn't ideal for the office or formal events, and it's certainly not built for sport.

About

Imagine a rich, creamy vanilla imbued with the ghost of pipe smoke and a crackling fireplace. It opens with a flash of warmly spiced cardamom and pink pepper, underpinned by a bracing cypress. As it settles, golden amber and balsamic frankincense mingle with the sweet embrace of tonka bean, creating a deep, enveloping warmth. The journey ends with a smooth cedar base, ensuring a sophisticated, yet utterly cosy, drydown.
