Fragrance Du Bois Oud Noir EDP Intense

Description

Fragrance Du Bois Oud Noir EDP Intense is the Eau de Parfum-strength expression of the house's Oud Noir Intense composition, an Amber Spicy fragrance by perfumer Francois Merle-Baudoin, originally launched in 2013. Cardamom and bergamot open into a heart of rose and jasmine, before settling into a base built on genuine agarwood (oud), musk, saffron, sandalwood, patchouli, amber and vanilla. Fragrance du Bois sources its own oud oil from plantations it farms directly, and this lighter-concentration version carries the same dark, resinous oud DNA as the Extrait in a more wearable strength.

Scent Character

• Agarwood (Oud) & Woody: 30%
• Ambery & Sweet: 28%
• Spicy: 24%
• Floral: 18%

Translation: the same dark oud-and-spice character as the Extrait, dialed to a lighter, more everyday-wearable strength.
