‘Vanilla Oud by Maksim Perfume is a new statement in the world of sweet oud. By combining a delicate mix of three different vanillas with the softest facets of Cambodian and Thai oud, we create a fragrance that is both profound and remarkably comfortable.
From the very first moment, you’re greeted by the sparkling spiciness of jungle pepper and pink pepper, contrasting with the enveloping sweetness of vanilla and smoothly flowing into a floral wave of jasmine enriched by juicy notes of apricot. At the heart of the fragrance lies our signature vanilla accord: three types of natural vanilla, carefully aged to impart warmth and gentle sweetness. This rich center is supported by subtle accents of ylang-ylang, adding a touch of softness and refined luxury to the composition. The final accord is a velvety, slightly smoky oud from Thailand and Cambodia, woven into the blend to highlight the sweetness and nobility of the entire fragrance pyramid without any heaviness or harshness. Vanilla Oud envelops you in a warm aura and unfolds smoothly on the skin, as though telling the story of natural ingredients crafted by nature and transformed into a sensual, rare perfumery masterpiece. In Vanilla Oud, Maksim brings to life his long-cherished dream of creating a multifaceted and approachable oud fragrance. This perfume was born out of extensive research and experimentation aimed at revealing the soft, sweet side of natural oud. Having long envisioned uniting different types of oud in one composition, Maksim wanted to show that this Eastern ingredient can be not only profound but also surprisingly comforting—especially when combined with the richness of natural vanilla and noble floral notes.’ – Maksim Perfume
