Aoud Vanille

Aoud Vanille starts quietly, cardamom unfolding as sweet spice rising from split pods. Oud moves underneath as resinous timber under monsoon air, while saffron lingers as the leathery warmth of golden threads. A thread of black pepper runs across — shadowy spice with mineral bite — and floral notes follows as fresh cut blossoms breathing from cool water. Worn, it reads warm and biting — a spicy, woody centre brightened by white florals.
