The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Oud Violet Intense by Fragrance Du Bois is a composition that defies easy categorization. Perfumer Alexandra Kosinski crafts a rich blend of oud and violet, with elemi and black pepper providing an intriguing spicy freshness. The mandarin orange and citruses add a bright contrast to the deep amber and musky base notes, creating an olfactory experience that is both warm and unexpected.
Apply Oud Violet Intense lightly — its base notes will develop over time. The spicy and woody elements project well, making it perfect for cooler evenings or layered under a jacket during the day.
