Fragrance du Bois Tropiques Extrait

Description

Tropiques, launched by Fragrance du Bois in 2024, is one of the house's lighter, fruitier releases, a departure from its signature oud specialism. Bergamot, mandarin, and tropical fruit open into a soft floral heart built on Mahonial® (a lavender-type aromatic) and Rosyfolia® (a rose-type floral), before settling into a warm caramel-amber-musk base. There's no oud here. This is Du Bois in vacation mode, an amber-vanilla gourmand built for warm-weather escapism.

Scent Character

• Caramel & Amber Gourmand: 35%
• Tropical Fruit & Citrus: 35%
• Floral (Lavender & Rose Facets): 20%
• Musk: 10%

Translation: a fruity, caramel-warm gourmand with a soft floral heart, sweet and sunny rather than woody or resinous.

FAQ

Does Tropiques contain oud?
No. This is one of Fragrance du Bois's fruity-gourmand releases, with no agarwood in the formula.

Is it a summer-only scent?
Its tropical opening suits warm weather, but the caramel-amber base gives it enough richness for cooler months too.

Is it unisex?
Yes.

What do Mahonial® and Rosyfolia® mean?
They're specialty aromatic ingredients used in modern perfumery to render lavender and rose facets with exceptional clarity, not a departure from natural florals, just a more refined way of capturing them.
