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 musk-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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on amber, soft spicy and warm spicy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
