Oud Noir Intense by Fragrance Du Bois was launched in 2013 and is crafted by perfumer François Merle-Baudoin, known for his work with rich, complex accords. This fragrance opens with a bright note of bergamot, which quickly gives way to the warm spice of cardamom and saffron. At its heart, rose and jasmine add depth before settling into an enveloping base of oud, patchouli, sandalwood, musk, amber, and vanilla. The composition is a study in contrasts, where bright top notes transition seamlessly into a rich, smoky warmth.

Application Tips
Oud Noir Intense is best applied close to the skin for an intense personal experience. The top notes dissipate quickly, so focus on areas like your neck and wrists where warmth can help prolong the aromatic journey. This fragrance is perfect for evening wear as it blooms slowly over time.
