Vertus Vanilla Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Vanilla Oud opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, Saffron, and Apple, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Cyclamen, Rose, and Jasmine, 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.

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.
