...Could it be coumarin (smells a bit like vanilla and some parts of tonka)? Have you looked at the ingredients?

How to store perfume oils to maximize shelf life?
by Nushka | Perfumes & Brands
...First of all: do not refrigerate oils!Secondly: I am assuming you are talking about Arabian type of perfumes, attars? Let it be known that attars keep for a very long time. In some countries it is tradition to give attars for big occasions like weddings and some attars are passed on from generation to generation.Oud oil is matured for decades sometimes - just like wine or whisky, the older it gets, the more valuable and expensive it can be.All this to say, if you apply a little care, your perfume oil will last you longer than any alcohol-based perfume. Same basic rules apply, like do not expose the vials or bottles to direct sunlight. Just keep vials and bottles hermetically closed, avoid extreme temperatures and sudden/important temperature changes; do not let the oil come into contact with anything else - if using a glass stem or applicator, do not touch it to your skin but let the oil drip off. You'll be fine 👍
