Fragrance du Bois Sahraa EDP

Description

Sahraa opens on grapefruit before moving into a heart of rose absolute, geranium, jasmine, and patchouli, but it's the base that defines it: genuine agarwood alongside saffron, amber, black pepper, sandalwood, and vanilla. Composed by François Merle-Baudoin in 2013, Sahraa is a true oud-forward amber, built to evoke the Arabian desert, one of Fragrance du Bois's original, and most agarwood-heavy, releases.

Translation: real, prominent oud anchors the base alongside saffron and amber. This is genuinely oud-forward in the drydown, true to Fragrance du Bois's Middle Eastern-inspired Oud series.
