Starts strong with pepper, then softens into something sweet and powdery, like makeup. It’s persistent and very pleasant for evening wear or cold days.
Not a single bit of it appealed to me; it smells like medicine.
Not a single bit of it appealed to me; I just smelled it like medicine.
Smells a bit like makeup powder; it’s soft and pleasant. The pepper, cypress, and tonka are noticeable, but I swear you can identify all the notes, even the incense. Projection is medium. If you apply generously to your hair and chest, you get good longevity, but it fixes much better on fabrics. It was a blind buy; I’ll try it in winter to see how it holds up. Available on the manufacturer’s website.

Reminds me of a room with a bookshelf, fireplace, wooden desk, leather chair, fine tobacco, and incense; looking out the window at green cypresses. It’s a refined and pleasant scent where I detect cypress, tobacco, leather, clove, incense, and vanilla. It’s not overpowering, exquisite for cold climates, with no intrusive sillage and medium-low longevity for personal use.
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 carved 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 of 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, perfect for personal enjoyment.
Nuts and vanilla. Very good if you have the money to pay for it. Natural ingredients! Very seductive. Only thing is that young people under 20 might find it too feminine. Lasts forever on clothes, but its projection is very low. Excellent for dates, where you know it will end in a night romance.

The first time I tried it, I didn’t like it at all; it seemed horrible and I walked away, giving it a zero. But I decided to give it a second chance based on reviews saying it was good and sweet. On the second try, I felt it was very different and more pleasant, but that bad first experience leaves me without a concrete opinion. It’s a slightly sweet scent with vanilla and cypress as the most noticeable notes, plus other notes I struggle to decipher, I suppose a very soft incense that doesn’t let the sweetness dominate too much.

It reminded me of unburnt tobacco smell, which is unpleasant when I detect it; it’s rare for it not to contain tobacco, yet it reminds me of it a lot. Discarded.

This fragrance stuck in my head ever since I started hearing about it (for the better). A few days later, I tested it in the store, and shortly after, I walked out with the bottle. For me, it’s a small challenge because the pepper or spices in the opening can be a turn-off for many. But after the first round, the warmth and sweetness of the vanilla and tonka bean (I think) remain, 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 love 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 but pleasant opening with cardamom, pink pepper, and cypress becoming noticeable right away. The cypress takes over the fragrance with a light touch of incense, gradually sweetening with tonka bean and vanilla. Finally, it leaves a sweet scent with a hint of cypress. I really liked it. The fragrance evolves and changes markedly, and in all its phases, it seemed very pleasant to me. Maybe the dry down could be a bit generic, but the opening and, especially, the dry down were addictive. Perfect for autumn and winter. Great for daytime but more for nighttime. Lasting longevity. Moderate sillage.
Smells great, but very weak for having cypress, incense, and vanilla. You have to overapply it, and even then, it’s not enough. I bought it because it was supposed to be similar to Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, but it doesn’t feel like much. The opening reminded me of Luna Rossa Extreme. In short: it smells good but doesn’t “drunk” you.
It ends with a varied custard-like finish. The tonka-vanilla mix reminded me of a Bogart perfume I own, but with a stronger gourmand vanilla leaning. The lavender in Bogart (Silver Scent Intense) seems replaced by cypress and spices, resulting in a very vanilla-forward scent. I find it a bit lacking in originality and depth for my taste, though I haven’t worn it enough to be sure. The vanilla feels too intense and is the only note I can clearly detect after just 3 hours. I expected more from a perfume priced at 50€.
I had the fortune of trying it yesterday at the L’Occitane boutique in Margarita Island, Venezuelan Caribbean, and it’s a marvel. I thought of Issey Miyake’s ‘Nuit d’Issey’: woody and spicy, but where vanilla reigns. Longevity is moderate, but the brand offers many sub-products to layer (shower gel, roll-on, creams…). People compare it to Tom Ford’s ‘Tobacco Vanille’, but here there’s no tobacco. It’s cypress wood with spices like cardamom, pepper, and lots of vanilla with tonka bean. Exquisite. I’d buy it if local prices weren’t so unrealistic. It’s quite versatile, ideal for cool weather (winter, autumn, spring), day or night, formal or informal.
I had the luck to try it yesterday at the L’Occitane boutique on Margarita Island, Venezuela. It’s a marvel. The first thing that came to mind 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 layer it: shower with the body wash, use the deodorant, the cream, and reinforce with the roll-on every two or three hours. It’s compared to Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille, but here there’s no tobacco. It’s cypress wood with cardamom, pepper, and lots of vanilla with tonka bean. Exquisite. I’d buy it if local prices weren’t so high. It’s quite versatile, suitable for cool weather (winter, autumn, spring), day and night, for both formal and informal occasions.
It resembles Tobacco Vanille but softer, with incense and vanilla taking the lead. Very good for cold climates and formal events due to its complexity. Lasts 6 hours with a 2-hour trail. 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 absolutely loved it! It’s a smoky cypress woody fragrance with sweet vanilla and tonka. The opening is fresh and spicy, featuring cheerful cardamom, pink pepper, and cypress notes. Then cypress and incense take center stage, bathed in a vanilla and tonka elixir. It’s gorgeous, reminiscent of Encre Noire but warmer. The dry down is a vanilla and tonka balm with an ethereal cypress touch. It’s not cloying—fresh and versatile, perfect for any time except summer. Longevity is good, around 7 hours. It doesn’t smell like Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille; 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 cozy. The opening is fresh and spicy, soft, with a little sweet vanilla where a cheerful cardamom, fruity pink pepper, and light cypress nuances play. Then, the cypress and incense take center stage offering a show: smoky cypress bathed in a tonka and vanilla elixir. It’s gorgeous, 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 an 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 maybe summer due to its warmth. The performance was good, about 7 hours on skin with moderate trail. Many people say it resembles Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, but in my opinion, not even close; 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, high-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 sillage. If you don’t have this L’Occitane gem yet, what are you waiting for? Rating: 9/10.
Sounds weird, but when I smelled it, it reminded me of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings; it would be his perfect scent (always with his pipe and riding). I also see a Hobbit house smelling like this, with that soft, pleasant tobacco smell, warm wood, and vanilla. Plus, it has that green touch, probably 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, the quality-to-price ratio is great.
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, very organic touch. It has an elegant and mysterious character. The dry-down is wonderfully sweet. The only downside is its weak projection.
Incredible fragrance, but when I went to buy my refill, they told me they’re discontinuing it 🙁
Wonderful note composition. But in my experience, the longevity and projection are very weak, which is disappointing. That’s why I keep buying it, but that’s also why I can’t recommend it.
Of all the ones I tried at the L’Occitane store, this was my favorite. I think it’s their best offering, especially because of the spices and cypress, which remind me of fresh or cold times like autumn, winter, or Christmas. The projection and trail are soft, almost skin-scented. However, it has excellent longevity, lasting quite a few hours, even until the next day, and it reactivates with water.
I love vanilla and tonka, but it all depends on how they’re blended. The cypress and incense mix is very peculiar—something I’ve never smelled before. It starts with cardamom and pepper that just kick things off, followed by 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 take 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, with a dark, smoky, woody base and healthy spices that give it nobility and timelessness. It’s ideal for those who love spicy and sweet fragrances, but don’t expect spectacular projection or trail—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 shy.
My congratulations to the men who wear this eau de toilette. What a delicious, enjoyable scent. My partner wears it and I have the bottle here to smell it. It’s a sweet balsamic type that grabs quite a bit of attention, different from the sweetness sold these days. It has nothing to envy others in longevity. There are two men’s perfumes that I personally like a lot: Burberry Men and this. 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 not cloying at all. Masculine. I found out it was discontinued. But now I see they’re bringing it back to the Dominican Republic in 75ml (2.5 oz), around $80…. It really shouldn’t pass $40.
This is a powdery and slightly medicinal perfume. Sweet but light. Eau des Baux has been a total 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 marvel. I bought it blindly following your comments. It’s a really rich-smelling cologne, very pleasant. Longevity isn’t the marvel and projection is short, but who cares when the scent is one of life’s pleasures. It reminds me of Al Haramain’s Tobacco Edition, which in turn is a clone of Tobacco Vanille… well, it reminds me of 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 obsession with perfumes started with Eau de Baux years ago. I was looking for a replacement for Miyake Pour Homme, which no longer exists. I came across this proposal whose quality/price ratio is undeniable. Obviously, nothing to do with Miyake. It’s an autumn and winter perfume dominated by incense and cypress, accompanied by a restrained vanilla that doesn’t overwhelm or turn you into a Danone pudding. It’s warm, enveloping, and very delicious. It’s a must-stop for anyone wanting to get into incense without smelling like a brotherhood or a mass. Its path is that of a burning incense stick among cypresses with a few tonka beans. Excellent performance. And it’s EDT, watch out. Great work by L’Occitane. I said it.
I knew the brand for their creams and went into the store with my wife to try some fragrances. Honestly, I was delighted: a sweet scent, vanilla with a strong incense presence. Theoretically it should be basic, but once I put it on my skin, I loved it. Although I’m not much for sweet scents, this has a sweetness that isn’t cloying, just right to feel good without being intrusive. I was pleasantly surprised, and it lasts all day with the shower gel. Safe buy, especially for the quality-price ratio.
Very delicious perfume. Go try it and get out of the doubt… it has nothing to envy from others 🙂
After a while without buying anything from L’Occitane, I stopped by to check for new releases and ran into this bottle I’d never even smelled, despite it being their oldest product. The scent seemed sweet with a medicinal touch, like an optimal remedy for cold days, but it really lacked longevity; it never projected and lasted barely 4-5 hours on my skin.
I’ll whisper it so no one hears: Amber Fever from Zara’s women’s section. 😉
L’Occitane has me laughing. They’re calling it ‘cedar incense’ now, changed the scent, selling it the same way but in 50ml and more expensive. 😂 It smells good, sure, but it’s not the eighth wonder. Vanilla, tonka bean, and a touch of cypress. It’s a normal eau de toilette, almost generic at a niche price, haha, they’re crazy… Oh, they say they changed it out of respect for the environment. And they’re distributing it in carts pulled by donkeys, I bet.
