Fragrance Du Bois Oud Bleu Intense Extrait

Description

Oud Bleu Intense is one of Fragrance du Bois's original Shades du Bois releases, created by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny and launched in 2013. Unlike the house's sweeter, gourmand-leaning scents, this one puts real agarwood oud front and center. A warm, resinous amber-oud built around genuine oil from Du Bois's own plantations, opened with a citrus-and-spice top that keeps the composition from feeling heavy.

Scent Character

• Oud & Amber: 45%
• Sweet Resins (Myrrh, Labdanum): 27%
• Spice (Cardamom, Nutmeg): 18%
• Fresh Citrus (Mandarin): 10%

Translation: genuine, resinous oud and amber at the core, wrapped in warm spice and softened by a bright mandarin opening, true to Du Bois's oud-specialist identity.

Projection: Noticeable well beyond arm's length when freshly applied, settling into a rich, close-wearing oud by the evening.

FAQ

Is the oud in this one real?
Yes. Fragrance du Bois sources genuine organic agarwood oil from its own plantations, and it's a defining note here, not a background accent.

How does it compare to Oud Orange Intense?
Oud Bleu Intense is the more traditionally "oud" of the two: resinous, amber-forward, and spice-driven. Oud Orange Intense is sweeter and gourmand, built around coconut and vanilla.

Is it unisex?
Yes.

What's the best occasion to wear it?
It's flexible enough for daily wear but really shines for evening occasions in cooler months.
