The story behind the bottle.
Vanille Oud by M. Micallef is a composition crafted by Jean-Claude Astier, blending the richness of vanilla with the warmth of oud and spices. The fragrance opens with saffron and rose, adding an unexpected floral brightness to its heart. Nutmeg and cinnamon infuse the scent with a warm spiciness that contrasts beautifully against the deep, smoky notes of cashmere wood and sandalwood. The base is anchored by Madagascar vanilla, caramel, amber, and musk, creating a cocoon of warmth and comfort.
Vanille Oud is best applied to pulse points for an intense, warm embrace that lingers throughout the day. The caramel and amber notes take time to develop, so allow it to settle on your skin before layering with other scents or clothing.
