As the name suggests, a beautiful duet of oud and vanilla. I don't smell jasmine. Warm, slightly sticky-gourmand, but not in an unpleasant way. The oud takes a back seat and doesn't steal the show from the vanilla. This isn't anything wildly complex or really new, but it's still rounded, soft, and a great scent for feeling good and snuggling up.
But now comes the but: Unfortunately, it is very close to my skin and not particularly long-lasting.
Since you can find similarly structured fragrances among the usual suspects in the Arabic sector (Lattafa, Al Haramain, etc.), where the longevity is equal or even better and they cost just a quarter of what I would have to pay for Oud wa Vanilla, it will likely end up being more of a cheapie competition for me.
