Vanilla Oud

Vertus Vanilla Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Vanilla Oud opens with Apple, Rhubarb, Saffron, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Jasmine, and Cyclamen, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Vertus's Vanilla Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, mind - don't judge it on the first sniff. While some critics sniff out a 'grandma's perfume' vibe or a bit of 'funk', most reckon this dark, creamy vanilla-oud blend is seriously addictive. Definitely one to sample first, but expect compliments once it settles.

Its potent performance and rich, gourmand profile, often described as a 'beast', make it unsuitable for office wear. However, its 'seductive' and 'luxurious' character means it's ideal for dates and formal evening events, with some finding it versatile enough for cooler casual outings.

About

Vanilla Oud opens with a rather intriguing blend of tart apple and crisp rhubarb, spiced up with a hint of leathery saffron. This quickly deepens into a smooth cashmere wood heart, accented by subtle floral whispers of rose and violet. The real star, of course, is the base: a rich, dark vanilla intertwining with a non-animalic oud, kissed with a burnt caramel sweetness and smoky woods for a truly gourmand, comforting dry down.
