What About Pop by The House of Oud is a playful yet luxurious Oriental Vanilla fragrance launched in 2019 and created by perfumer Cristian Calabro. This composition opens with the sweet, buttery aroma of popcorn and caramel, immediately evoking a sense of indulgence and comfort. As it develops, notes of hawthorn and whipped cream add a soft, creamy texture to the scent, while Madagascar vanilla anchors the fragrance with its rich warmth. The base features ebony, benzoin, musk, ambergris, and Madagascar vetiver, creating a powdery, balsamic finish that feels both comforting and sophisticated.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient as the sweet top notes linger for a while before giving way to the warm base. Best applied in cooler weather when the powdery and balsamic notes can really shine without feeling too heavy.
