About This Perfume
Think creamy vanilla caramel, smoky oud haze: that is Alexandre.J Zafeer Oud Vanille. It opens with coconut, caramel and leathery notes, moves into tonka bean, blond woods and clove and settles on vanilla, Oud and musk. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for date nights and nights out. Released in 2012.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
