It starts strong with pepper, then softens into something sweet and powdery, reminiscent of makeup. It is long-lasting and very pleasant for evening wear or cold days.
Not a single bit of it appealed to me; I sensed it as the smell of a remedy.
Not a single bit of it appealed to me; it smells like medicine.
It smells a bit like makeup powder, it is soft and pleasant. The pepper, cedar and tonka are noticeable, but I swear I can identify all the notes, even the incense. The projection is medium. If you apply it generously on your hair and chest you get good longevity, but it fixes much better on fabrics. It was a blind purchase; I will try it in winter to see how it develops. Available on the manufacturer’s website.

Ummmm, it brings to mind a room where I can see a bookshelf in the background, a fireplace with a large wooden desk and a comfortable leather chair with studs; on the table, a box of fine tobacco and an incense burner. Suddenly, I look out the window at some green and beautiful cypress bushes. All this brings to mind this exquisite aroma, fine and pleasant. In summary, I perceive cypress, tobacco, leather, cloves, incense, and vanilla. It’s not a strong perfume, but exquisite for use in cold climates. Not intrusive in sillage and with medium to low longevity for personal enjoyment.
It reminds me of a room with a bookshelf, a fireplace, a wooden desk, a leather chair, fine tobacco and incense; through the window I see green cypresses. It is a refined and pleasant scent where I detect cedar, tobacco, leather, cloves, incense and vanilla. It is not strong, exquisite for cold climates, without an intrusive sillage and with medium-low longevity for personal use.
The first time I tried it, I did not like it at all; I thought it was horrible and recoiled, giving it a zero. But I decided to give it a second chance because of the comments that it was good and sweet. On the second try I felt it very differently, more pleasant, but that bad first experience leaves me without a concrete opinion. It is a slightly sweet scent with vanilla and cedar as the most noticeable notes, and other notes I struggle to decipher, I suppose a very soft incense that prevents the sweetness from dominating so much.
Nuts and vanilla. Very good if you have the money to pay for it. Natural ingredients! Very seductive. Only that young people under 20 might find it very feminine. Lasts forever on clothes, but its projection is very low. Excellent for dates, where you know it will end in a night romance.
Walnut and vanilla. Very good if you have the money to pay for it. Natural ingredients and very seductive. Those under 20 years old will find it very feminine. It lasts forever on clothes, but its projection is very low. Excellent for dates where you know it will end in a romantic night.
The first time I tried it, I didn’t like it at all; it seemed horrible, and when I smelled it, I recoiled; it was a zero for me. But I decided to give it a second chance due to comments saying it was good, sweet, etc. In my second test, I felt it very differently, more pleasant, but my terrible first experience leaves me without a concrete opinion. A slightly sweet aroma with vanilla and cypress as the most noticeable notes, and others that I struggle to decipher, I suppose the incense is very subtle but doesn’t let the sweetness dominate so much.
It reminded me of the smell of unburnt tobacco, unpleasant when I detect that scent; it is rare not to contain tobacco but it reminds me of it a lot. Discarded.
Reminded me of the smell of unburnt tobacco, which is unpleasant when I detect it; it’s strange that it doesn’t contain tobacco, yet it reminds me of it so much. Discarded.
This fragrance stuck in my head ever since I started hearing about it (good thing). I tested it in the shop a few days later, and shortly after that, I took the bottle home. For me, it’s a small challenge, as the pepper or spices in the opening could be a turn-off for many. But after the first round, there’s the warmth and sweetness of the vanilla and tonka bean (I think), and that’s the reward. I appreciate this perfume more with each passing day. Recently, I added L’Erbolario’s ‘Meharees’ to my collection; in my opinion, it’s a similar concept (harsh at first, rewarding at the end). I adore it!
I agree with Shearwater; it also reminded me (before reading their review) of L’Erbolario Meharees. Vanilla, cypress, incense, and spices in general.
I love it. Intense yet pleasant opening with the cardamom, pink pepper, and cypress starting to show right away. The cypress takes over the fragrance with a light touch of incense, and it gradually sweetens with the tonka bean and vanilla. Finally, it leaves a sweet scent with a subtle hint of cypress. I really enjoyed it. The fragrance evolves and changes markedly, and in all its phases, it seemed very pleasant to me. Perhaps the dry down could be a bit more generic, but the opening and, above all, the dry down were addictive. Suitable for autumn and winter. For daytime, but more for evening. Lasting longevity. Moderate sillage.
Smells very nice, but feels quite weak for a fragrance featuring cypress, incense, and vanilla. You have to over-apply, and even then, it doesn’t quite work. I bought it because it was similar to Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, but I don’t think it is very much so. The opening reminded me of Luna Rossa Extreme. In short: it smells good but doesn’t ‘drunk’ you.
Ends with a varied custard-like dry down. The tonka-vanilla blend reminded me of a Bogart perfume I own, but with a stronger lean towards a gourmand vanilla. The lavender in the Bogart (Silver Scent Intense) seems to have been replaced by cypress and spices, resulting in a very vanilla-forward scent. I find it a bit lacking in originality; for me, it lacks depth, although I haven’t worn it enough to be certain. The vanilla feels too intense and is the only note I can clearly detect after just three hours. I expected more from a perfume priced at £50.
It resembles Tobacco Vanille but softer, with incense and vanilla predominating. Very good for cold climates and formal events due to its complexity. Lasts 6 hours, sillage 2 hours. Its price hovers around $50 and is worth having in your collection if you like woody and sweet fragrances. I give it an 8/10.
I had the fortune to try it yesterday at the L’Occitane boutique on Margarita Island, in the Venezuelan Caribbean, and it is a wonder. I thought of Issey Miyake’s ‘Nuit d’Issey’: woody and spicy, but where vanilla reigns. The performance is moderate, but the brand offers many sub-products to layer (shower gel, roll-on, creams…). They compare with ‘Tobacco Vanille’ by Tom Ford, but here there is no tobacco. It is cedarwood with spices such as cardamom, pepper and lots of vanilla with tonka bean. Exquisite. I would buy it if local prices were not so unrealistic. It is quite versatile, ideal for fresh weather (winter, autumn, spring), day and night, formal or informal.
I had the luck to try it yesterday at the L’Occitane boutique on Margarita Island, in the Venezuelan Caribbean, and it’s a wonder. The first thing I thought of was Issey Miyake’s Nuit d’Issey: woody and spicy, but where the predominant spice is vanilla. The performance was moderate, but the brand’s advantage is that you can buy all the sub-products (body wash, soap, roll-on, creams…). The ideal is to use it in layers: bathe with the body wash, use the deodorant, the cream, and reinforce with the roll-on every two or three hours. It’s compared to Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, but here there’s no tobacco. It’s cypress wood with cardamom, pepper, and lots of vanilla with tonka bean. Exquisite. I would buy it if local prices weren’t so high. It’s quite versatile, suitable for fresh climates (winter, autumn, spring), day and night, for both formal and informal occasions.
I absolutely loved it! It is a woody cedarwood fragrance with smoky notes, sweet vanilla and tonka. The opening is fresh and spicy, featuring cheerful cardamom, pink pepper, and touches of cedar. Then the cedar and incense take centre stage, bathed in a vanilla and tonka elixir. It is exquisite, reminiscent of Encre Noire but warmer. The dry down is a vanilla and tonka balm with an ethereal touch of cedar. It is not cloying, fresh and versatile, perfect for any time except summer. The longevity is good, around seven hours. It does not smell like Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford; it has its own soul and is very well made.
I simply loved it. It’s a smoky cypress woody water with a sweet vanilla and tonka base, very warm and cosy. The opening is fresh and spicy, soft, with a little sweet vanilla where a jolly cardamom, fruity and spicy pink pepper, and slight cypress nuances play. Then, the cypress and incense take centre stage offering a show: smoky cypress bathed in a tonka and vanilla elixir. It’s gorgeous; it has a certain resemblance to Encre Noire, but here the cypress is warmer and sweeter. The final dry-down is a tonka and vanilla balm with an ethereal touch of cypress. Although it’s oriental with vanilla and tonka, it’s never cloying; it has a fresh and pleasant execution. It’s very versatile, usable at any time except perhaps in summer due to its warmth. The performance was good, about 7 hours on skin with moderate sillage. Many people say it resembles Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, but in my opinion, not even a little; maybe in the warmth, but it has its own soul and is very well executed.
Eau des Baux is one of the most perfect perfumes I know, both in conception and execution. It opens spicy with cardamom to quickly focus on the three main notes: vanilla, cypress, and incense. All perfectly balanced with a robust quality feel. The vanilla is very realistic, far from gourmand, and the cypress adds a green note that balances the sweetness. The incense is accessible, not too smoky or dry. It’s a fragrance of contrasts, elegant and ultra-masculine at an irrisible price. Moderate projection, excellent fixative. If you don’t have this L’Occitane gem yet, what are you waiting for? Note: 9/10.
Sounds strange, but when I smelled it, it reminded me of Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings; it would be his perfect fragrance (always with his pipe and riding). I also see a Hobbit house smelling like this; it has that soft, pleasant tobacco scent, wood, and very cosy vanilla. Plus, it has that green touch, I think from the cypress, which reminds me of a forest. I don’t know why it reminds me so much of Tolkien, but I love it. In short, it’s a 10 for me; I see it as unisex. My boyfriend and I take turns sharing it. Recommended for autumn/winter and very versatile. Considering current prices, this quality-to-price ratio is very good.
A magical fragrance. At first, it reminds me of perfumes like Cartier Déclaration, Terre de Hermès, or Gucci Guilty Absolute. They’re not the same, but they share that aura of nature and earth. Eau des Baux takes a sweet, herbal, and medicinal path with a bitter touch, very organic. It has an elegant and mysterious character. The sweet dry-down is wonderful. The only negative point is its weak projection.
Incredible fragrance, but when I went to buy my refill, they told me they’re pulling it from the market 🙁
Wonderful note composition. But in my experience, the longevity and projection are very weak, which is lamentable. That’s why I keep buying it, but for that very reason, I can’t recommend it.
Of all the ones I saw in the L’Occitane store, this was my favourite. I think it’s their best proposal, especially thanks to the spices and cypress, which remind me of fresh or cold times, like autumn, winter, or Christmas. The projection and sillage are soft, almost skin-close. However, it has excellent longevity, lasting quite a few hours, even until the next day, and it reactivates with water.
I adore vanilla and tonka, but it all depends on how they’re used. The cypress and incense blend is very peculiar, something I’ve never smelled before. It starts with cardamom and pepper that only kick things off: then comes a soft, warm scent with a smoky touch. Once the cloves soften, it reminds me of Laura Biagiotti’s Roma. Although I’m not a huge fan of that Italian classic, this L’Occitane proposal is very pleasant. It lacks the typical depth of an EDT; everything unfolds subtly and without pretension. When dry, it’s comforting yet very discreet. It has a dark, smoky, woody note with wholesome spices, giving it nobility and timelessness. It’s ideal for those who like spicy and sweet fragrances, but don’t expect spectacular projection or sillage—that’s its weak point. The best way to try it is with the body products from the line to see if it improves, because the scent is noticeable, though for me, it’s a bit timid.
My congratulations to the men who wear this eau de toilette. What a rich, enjoyable scent. My partner wears it and I have the bottle here to smell it. It’s a sweet balsamic type that attracts quite a bit of attention, different from the sweetness sold nowadays. It has nothing to envy in terms of longevity. There are two men’s perfumes that I personally like a lot: Burberry Men and this one. They are well-made scents, with body, that bring elegance and professionalism to the man who wears them and also help those with conquest intentions, because they invite people to smell and get closer. I repeat what I said for Burberry: Smelling this on a guy in his 30s instead of a One Million or a Black XS, believe me, makes a difference 🙂 This is a deep scent, over time you feel a slightly mysterious smokiness. Anyway, a scent to my taste, uncommon and exclusive. Give it a try, you won’t regret it.
For me, the best fragrance from L’Occitane. It’s a woody masculine vanilla, slightly spiced. Sweet gourmand, but nothing cloying. Masculine. I found out it was discontinued. But now I see they are bringing it back to the Dominican Republic in 75ml (2.5 oz), around US$80…. It really shouldn’t cost more than $40.
This is a talc-like and slightly medicinal perfume. Sweet but light. Eau des Baux has been a real surprise for me, little reviewed in Latin America (except in Brazil, where it seems they know it a bit more), but it’s a must in my collection, especially when I want to smell clean and refined.
Slightly sweet, woody. Cypress, vanilla, incenses, a wonder. I bought it blindly following your comments. It’s a really rich-smelling cologne, very pleasant. The longevity isn’t the wonder and the projection is short, but who cares when the scent is one of life’s pleasures. It reminds me of the Tobacco Edition by Al Haramain, which in turn is a clone of Tobacco Vanille… well, it reminds me of the TE but less sweet and potent. If you like that cologne but the sweetness overwhelms you, this is the option. Nothing more to add. Greetings.
My addiction to perfumes started with Eau de Baux years ago. I was looking for a replacement for the Miyake Pour Homme which no longer exists. I came across this proposal whose quality/price ratio is unquestionable. Obviously nothing to do with the Miyake. It’s an autumn and winter perfume with a predominance of incense and cypress, accompanied by a just right vanilla that doesn’t overwhelm or turn you into a Danone custard. It’s warm, enveloping and very nice. It’s a mandatory stop for those who want to get into incenses without smelling like a brotherhood or a mass. Its path is that of a burnt incense burner among cypresses with a few tonka beans. Excellent performance. And it’s edt, watch out. Great work by L’Occitane. I’ve said it.
I knew the brand for their creams and went into the shop with my wife to try some fragrances. The truth is, I was delighted: a sweet scent, vanilla with a strong presence of incense. In theory it should be basic, but once applied to skin, I loved it. Although I’m not much for sweet scents, this has a sweetness that isn’t cloying, just right to feel without being intrusive. It pleasantly surprised me and with the shower gel it lasts many hours. A safe purchase, especially regarding the quality/price ratio.
Very nice perfume. Try it and get out of any doubt… it has nothing to envy from others 🙂
After a while without buying anything from L’Occitane, I went to see if there were any new arrivals and came across this oldie that I hadn’t even smelled before. The aroma seemed sweet with a medicinal touch, like an optimum remedy for cold days, but it had a long way to go in terms of longevity; it never projected and lasted on my skin for barely 4/5 hours.
I’ll whisper it so no one finds out: Amber Fever from Zara’s women’s section. 😉
L’Occitane has me laughing. They’ve renamed it ‘cedar incense’, changed the scent, sold it in the same bottle but at 50ml and for more money. 😂 It smells nice, obviously, but it’s not the eighth wonder. Vanilla, tonka bean, and a hint of cypress. It’s a normal eau de toilette, almost generic at a niche price, haha, they’re mad… Oh, they say they changed it out of respect for the environment. And they distribute it in carts pulled by donkeys, surely.
