by Fragrance Du Bois
Parisian Fragrance du Bois is a refined, opulent Oriental chypre that blends rose, oud, and incense into a sophisticated, Western interpretation of a typically Middle Eastern fragrance profile. The opening features a bright, aromatic blend of grapefruit, cardamom, pink pepper, and almond, creating a fresh yet warm entry that is elegant rather than invasively bold. The heart reveals a delicate balance of rose, oud, and geranium, with a subtle leather nuance and a faint incense thread that adds depth without dominating. As it settles, the fragrance unfolds into a smooth, velvety base of amber, labdanum, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk, giving it a warm, resinous, and quietly luxurious feel. Longevity is strong, with the scent persisting well beyond eight hours, and sillage remains moderate to strong, making it noticeable without being overwhelming. It performs best in autumn and spring, though some users report it can be worn on warm summer evenings as well. Despite its high price and intense quality, it feels very personal and intimate when worn, suitable for evenings, special events, or refined daily wear alike. It is widely seen as unisex with strong feminine appeal, though its mature, aromatic complexity appeals to more confident and discerning wearers.
