I get very low sillage and longevity with this….not what I expected for the price tag. The scent is not bad but because of the low projection, it becomes a skin scent fast and disappeared on my in 2-3 hours.

Spicy sweet & sour.
It strikes first with doses of cardamom, patchouli, lime, saffron, and bits of vanilla for few mins (3 mins) with a background of rose oud mix, then softens a bit and the roses oud mix comes up accompanying a soapy mix of sandalwood, jasmines, cardamom, & amber.
The colder it goes the more roses rises.
This is a bitter sweet yet spicy blend as i can barely sense the oud in here because it turns kind of soapy later on with the bitterness of cardamom, saffron, & patchouli. I don’t see it as a strong blend.

Quality fragrance, longevity great and quality of ingredients shine through when applied. This is elegance at its best and will make you stand out from mainstream fragrances that may be similar. The oud is special and this house is the best. I believe well worth the extra $$ for this luxurious fragrance.

This is similar to TF Oud Wood in the drydown. TFOW is pleasant from the get go while this takes a while before it reaches the smoothness and pleasantness of the former. Longevity wise, this beats TFOW by a good 4 hours – 6 vs 10. Projection is not great but you will get whiffs of it throughout the day from 3 to 4 sprays which to me is perfect for an office setting. For a formal event or a night out, I would say 6 sprays to get better sillage. Scent-wise, TFOW is still better overall but they are pretty close.

Tom Ford’s Oud Wood, only half as good and twice the price.

Opens sweet & sour, a little off putting, but then it warms up and becomes more powdery with cardamom coming through, which turns into something between Oud Wood & Palissandre d`Or

Fragrance Du Bois only sells their perfume strictly after a consultation. I was recommended to this, I thought it was a Men’s perfume, considering its woody, musky and spicy notes.
However, on my body, it gives off a soft powdery floral note on top of the woody, musky and spicy first impression.
Used on my sister, who loves the perfume more than me, it gave off a less pleasant spectrum, and almost like fresh cut grass.
Their perfume is extremely long lasting due to the low alcohol content, very gentle sillage and not overpowering. I have been getting a lot of compliments even from strangers, wanting to know what I am using.
For anyone intending to buy their perfumes, please go to their boutiques for a consultation.
Definitely good money well spent.

Powerful, noir, pure, extravagant and elegant. This scent gives its best on a man, but it requires the right attitude. It’s weird, misterious yet somehow comforting. Overspray is not a good approach with this one.
Imaging a dark sophisticated beautiful middleeastern prince.

On me it is quite potent, 3 sprays really made an impact….a bit to big an impact for me as I prefer to be noticed a bit close-up and not from across the room…:-)
I think you will be pleased with it and it is always nice to wear a fragrance that is not to be smelled on every guys wrist´n neck!
Ciao

ps
Another cool fact is that the company behind it is a major supplier of cultivated agarwood so ¨no wild trees were injured making this fragrance¨…..

Any feedback on longevity and SIllage? Oud wood from TF is probably my favourite and i can see someone tagged that as a similar scent ! It would be amazing if this one can smell that same but have better SIllage!

I have not tried “Oud Noir Intense,” nor do I intend to, but as soon as I saw the name I had to laugh. If I were writing a satiric send-up of the contemporary perfume scene (hey, not a bad idea), and had to come up with some mock names for perfumes, “Oud Noir Intense” would lead the pack.
An instant camp classic.
Personally, I’m going to hold out for the flankers: “Oud Noir Intense Homme,” “Oud Noir Intense White,” and for the adventurous “Oud Noir Intense Anosmiclubyob,” with genuine oudh from the Anosmiclubyob region of India.
I am reminded of the dumbest guy who lived in my dorm in college–call him Andrew–who was an aspiring singer/songwriter. One evening he was playing his songs and someone said to him “Andrew, your songs are just one cliche after another,” and Andrew repied “How is anyone going to understand you if you don’t use cliches?” True story. I wouldn’t have thought Andrew would have ended up as marketing director at Du Bois, but I guess anything’s possible.
