The Oud Affair
The Oud Affair by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with honey and ginger, moves into tobacco and dries down to oud and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
