Doux Ennui

Doux Ennui by The House of Oud is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Doux Ennui was launched in 2025. The nose behind this fragrance is Cristian Calabro. Top notes are Apricot Jam, Ylang Ylang and Mandarin; middle notes are Butter, Peach, Ylang Ylang and Salt; base notes are Vanilla, Amber, Osmanthus, Benzoin and Musk. Doux Ennui opens with a bright and gourmand start, evoking the splendor of the french court — a true luxury to wear. The freshness of mandarin blends with the velvety sweetness of apricot jam in a refined, ironic tribute to the iconic brioches that made Marie Antoinette famous. The exotic touch of ylang ylang adds a first whisper of sensuality, like an unexpected caress among the velvets of versailles. At the heart, the fragrance becomes more intense and seductive: a ripe, juicy peach melts into the creaminess of salted butter, evoking the carefree indulgence of an era that loved to exaggerate. Ylang ylang returns, deeper, enriching the composition with aristocratic nuances. In the base, a precious accord of osmanthus, vanilla, benzoin, amber, and musk creates a long-lasting and irresistible olfactive signature that dances between innocence and transgression — just like the queen who inspired it.
