Amouage Vanilla Barka

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on olibanum, moves through fenugreek, madagascar vanilla and olibanum, and settles on vanilla, olibanum and tonka bean.

• olibanum: frankincense: dry resinous smoke with a citrus lift. Usually worth naming as frankincense instead
• vanilla: sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod, custard or the smell of a kitchen mid-bake

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
