The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2003, Vanille Aoud by M. Micallef is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women crafted by Jean-Claude Astier. This composition opens with a rich vanilla and caramel accord that immediately envelops the senses in warmth and sweetness. The heart introduces a fruity touch, adding a playful layer to the overall depth. As it settles, the woody oud and powdery musk notes create an earthy contrast, grounding the sweet top notes into something both comforting and complex.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; the sweet top notes are immediate but fleeting. The base notes will develop over time, so it’s best used in an environment where you can enjoy its evolution close to skin, such as a quiet evening at home.
