The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013, Oud Rose Intense by Fragrance Du Bois is a masterwork of contrasts — the bright freshness of bergamot and fruity notes meets the rich warmth of oud and rose. Perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani crafts this composition to balance the vibrancy of citrus with the depth of woody aromatics, resulting in a scent that feels both modern and lasting. The heart of geranium adds a subtle green floral touch that ties together the bright top notes and the smoky, powdery base of sandalwood and amber.

How to wear it

Oud Rose Intense has a slow build, so apply it to pulse points for the fullest effect. The fruity and citrus notes will fade within two hours, but the base of oud and amber will linger on your skin all day.
