Oud du Bois

The quiet intensity of a dimly lit study filled with rare books, where the scent of aged leather and polished wood is enhanced by the subtle warmth of incense.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud du Bois by Fragrance Du Bois is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Shadi Samra, this scent centers around the rich and complex Cambodian and Indian Oud, which forms its heart and soul. The composition opens with an unexpected burst of blackberry and saffron, adding a fruity and spicy complexity before settling into a warm base of musk, sandalwood, cedar, and amber. This fragrance embodies the brand’s commitment to ethically sourced raw materials, creating a luxurious and sustainable experience.

How to wear it

Oud du Bois has a slow bloom; it takes about an hour for the full depth of the oud to emerge. Apply one or two sprays on pulse points, and let it settle into your skin before venturing out. This fragrance is best enjoyed in cooler environments where its warmth can envelop you without overpowering.
