Description
First created for celebrity client and London resident, former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion David Haye, who thought it would be a shame not to share the scent with the wider perfume world, London Oud was based on an ostensibly simple brief: create an original and a unique 100% natural, Oud-based fragrance that reflects the history and vitality of London—one of the world’s greatest cities, embracing its richness, cultural diversity and heritage. Eclectic, but quintessentially cool, London Oud captures the mood of the world-class city which is as alive today as it was when The Clash released their legendary song.
London Oud by Fragrance Du Bois is a Woody Aquatic fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. The nose behind this fragrance is Francois Merle-Baudoin. Top notes are lemon, bergamot and mint; middle notes are lavender, jasmine, white flowers and sea notes; base notes are patchouli, cedar, nutmeg, cardamom and agarwood (oud). The fragrance features lemon, lavender, patchouli, sea notes, cedar and agarwood (oud). London Oud was launched in 2015.

Minty sea spray.
I don’t detect any oud in here! it’s just bitter lemon lime, sandalwood, cedar, huge doses of sea breeze, mint mint mint, magnolia, and lavender! no sign of any oud so far (5 mins in)
It settles to lavender, mint, sea breeze, citrus, cedar,& magnolia
Besides me disliking mint in fragrances, i have sniffed this fragrance before! it’s like the fresh summer fragrances that belongs to designers commercial houses released in summertime and you can find them almost everywhere in any department store.
It has the most disliked notes of mine, aqua, and mint and in a summer fresh frame. It’s a grand no.

A woodier version of Heeley’s Sel Marin, with some oud skankyness in the first 5 minutes.
debuter – :
A quite unusual scent in the sense that it brings together notes that are not often combined. The oud has taken a back seat and left the front seat for lavender, spearmint and lemon, then gradually cardamom and nutmeg appear. But what really makes this beautiful scent is the aquatic note (calone)! This feels like a fresh wave from the great oceans or like pouring cold water. Refreshing and sophisticated!
The scent is created as a journey through the different phases of a busy day in the British capitol, from the fresh morning dew in the city’s green parks, through the spicy, international atmosphere, going on to remind us of a nation known for its naval contact with the rest of the world.
Lasts forever on the skin, I can easily see myself wearing this in formal setting during the summer season, as well as clinging to the memory of a summer passed…
High end perfumery, top notch quality, very sophisticated.

A beautiful salted buttery oud opening with aromatic quality….one of the most magnificent oriental ouds. Supreme quality. Then the green citrus and herbal elements take over as the oud tones down. More of a summer oud. High quality. Great longevity. My no. 2 after Sahara. Screams quality and sophistication. Unique and charming. 8.5/10
