Doux Ennui by The House of Oud is a composition that weaves together the warmth and comfort of vanilla with the subtle sweetness of apricot jam and ylang ylang. Perfumer Cristian Calabro launched this Oriental Vanilla fragrance in 2025, creating a scent that balances fruity and floral notes with powdery ambers and musks. The heart of Doux Ennui is anchored by osmanthus and benzoin, adding depth and complexity to the overall composition. This fragrance is neither overly sweet nor overpowering; instead, it offers a soothing, intimate experience that feels like wrapping yourself in a warm embrace.

Application Tips
Apply Doux Ennui in a single layer to let its powdery base notes develop naturally over time. The fruity top notes are fleeting but impactful, so focus on the warmth that lingers close to your skin rather than projecting it across the room.
