Phil Julian Vanilla CO₂ & Oud is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Joschka Klee. Vanilla CO₂ & Oud opens with Pink Pepper, Elemi, and Rum, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Opoponax, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oud. Phil Julian's Vanilla CO₂ & Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This isn't just another vanilla; it's a deep, boozy, cocoa-dusted dream with an oud edge. A truly addictive, enveloping scent that's bound to turn heads and divide opinions - you'll either love its dark sweetness or find it a bit too much.

Given its rich, heavy accords of amber, sweet, and lactonic notes, this fragrance is best suited for evening wear and intimate settings like a date night. It's too potent and distinctive for everyday office wear or active sports, but could make a statement at formal events.

About

Imagine a rich, dark rum swirled with warm vanilla and spicy pink pepper, opening into a heart of luxurious cacao pod and creamy butter. Benzoin and opoponax add resinous depth, while a base of smoky oud, amber, and tonka bean grounds the sweetness, leaving a seductive, animalic trail. It's a journey from gourmand delight to sophisticated shadow.
