   This isn’t just a strip of Juicy fruit gum — it’s the whole darn factory! It’s the kind of performance that makes Byredo’s Pulp sound like a *whisper*.
   On my skin, there’s minimal florals, and definitely no oud. It’s a 98% Fruit salad with 2% woodsy notes. It’s hard to pinpoint a specific fruit. While the pyramid includes pineapple, and that’s certainly in there, I’m getting more of a delicious jello concoction than an organic fruit stand. Maraschino cherries, banana, guava, and a few things tropical-leaning may be in the mix. One similarity to the Byredo offering, is that the floral front-runner is Tiare.
   At $430 for 50mL, Oud Jaune Intense is by far, the priciest tropical mixed drink I’ve ever experienced– but since one applies a mere quarter of the regular dose for nuclear sillage, it offsets the cost.

   Floral fruit punch.
   It begins with fruit punch, and slowly goes to floral side. The floral are jasmine, magnolia, and tiare. The fruits are pineapples, orange (blossoms), & cranberries. Ylang & musk are there quite clear beside the oranges.
   Interesting take, but it doesn’t have oud, at least not shown since the oud note is supposed to be quite strong by nature, but in here it isn’t if there are any.

   Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God. (Soren Kierkegaard)
   Along my ever-winding, and often adventurous, journeys through the world of fragrance I have encountered a fairly equal amount of dreams (sweet, magical, erotic, forbidden, or promising) and nightmares (repulsive, compulsive, convulsive… OK, I’ll stop here for the time being), of bottled heavens or scented hells. This is, I think, the main reason for my obsessive love relationship to perfumery. It’s a never-ending story. From night time walks on the Champs Elysees to Kali feeding hungrily on rotten corpses to Lolita strapping on bubble gum-pink knee-highs and dangerous liaisons at the Court of the Roi Soleil, perfumes offer you everything. All you have to do is reach out and ask for it, and you will get bottled arrogance, sex-appeal, playfulness, power games, fantasies, childhood, hopes, chances, possibilities, probabilities, rights and wrongs. But there is one thing that is almost impossible to bottle. Love. I say ‘almost impossible’, because there is actually one scent which has added the ‘almost’ to the equation: it is Fragrance du Bois’s most recent creation Oud Jaune.
   Oud Jaune smells of Indian shores caressed by liquid sun light and bathed in golden fairy dust. It is the smell of temples where incense languorously burns amidst palm leaves and heaps of fruit and candy offerings, of the ocean breeze mixed with winds carrying saffron and musk, of wild flowers rising among endless tea plantations, of sands and candles, henna and saris, silk and satin, rubies, gold and sacred wood. Oud Jaune smells like Love. It’s velvety-smooth like an embrace, sweet like a million kisses, innocent like a heartbeat, and maddening like a first touch. It moves from playfulness to sensuality in a matter of seconds and you find yourself torn and tossed deliciously from hither to thither, without even the slightest intention of ever descending to the ground again.
   In spite of all the inherent drama and artificiality, I love Bollywood movies, and Oud Jaune to me would be the scent that the actresses in such movies should give off. Actually I can imagine entire rooms, palaces, temple niches, altars, alcoves, and secret lovers’ chambers smelling of Oud Jaune.
   But Oud Jaune not only lives up to its name it surpasses it. It does not simply smell of love, it tells a story – and a never-ending one at that – about it. Evoking white marble palaces, tigers, huge peacock feather fans, golden bowls abounding in exotic fruit, fragrant sunsets, red silk curtains, black cherry and mango chutney, and endless hot summer evenings in suspended gardens, Oud Jaune encompasses all fragrant shapes love has taken throughout the centuries. And, just as love, it is impossible to categorize: it is neither floral, nor woody, nor musky, nor floral-woody-musk. It is love. A silky, creamy, cashmerey one, transformative and inescapable.
   This one is best worn with long silk summer dresses, nude heels, loose long hair and a light cashmere shawl. And, obviously, with the One caressing your shoulders gently underneath those rivers of silk as you pass by the world of others.

   Sweet and tangy gardenia-type scent; quite synthetic in feel.. also reminds me of a brighter Un Voix Noire (Serge)

   I could smell this rare scent today and I was really impressed. All the line is so well made. Oud has become ubiquitous, so one may think “here we go again, another oud” but this is worthy trying and also buying if one can afford the price. The oud here is not dominant. The overall first impression is that of an exotical floral fragrance. All the notes are very obvious. Frizzy and juicy pineapple combined with ylang ylang and a tiare monoi edge that keeps smelling fresh, lovely gardenia and vanilla. A very happy fragrance, both joyful and elegant. It smells like a much better made Givenchy Amarige. Wear it and smile.
