Cool citrus, then resin and oud
Fragrance Du Bois describes Oud Bleu Intense as a perfume with a marine theme, built on contrast, composed by Guillaume Flavigny. It starts cool, with mandarin, cardamom and nutmeg, then moves into a warm resin core with oud. As a Parfum it is concentrated, so trying a 10 ml decant first makes more sense than starting with 100 ml.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
The cool start
Mandarin, cardamom and nutmeg make a clean, slightly sharp first impression, with nutmeg adding dry warmth. The brand compares it to a cool breeze. The sea is the brand's picture here and not an ingredient, so expect citrus and spice, not salt.
-
Where it turns warm
Frankincense, ciste, myrrh essence and amber turn the scent from fresh to warm. They are dry, balsamic and slightly smoky, and they bring the weight. This is the pivot of the perfume, so give it time on skin before you decide.
-
The resin blanket
Opoponax and myrrh resinoids, styrax and benzoin make the base dense and sweetly resinous, with oud inside. The brand calls this a velvety blanket. The jump from the cool opening to this enclosed close is the whole idea of the perfume.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Spray the decant on skin in the morning to catch the cool opening, and follow it through the afternoon as the resins come forward. A second test in autumn or winter weather, when resinous perfumes tend to feel at home, is worth the effort. Judge the contrast, not just the start.
Who it is for
It is unisex, for people who like incense and resin perfumes and prefer them to begin fresh rather than dark. It also suits anyone curious about oud who likes the idea of contrast: cool and bright first, deep and warm after. Office days and evenings both fit it.
Why try Fragrance Du Bois Oud Bleu Intense as a sample first
Resin and oud are expensive, strong notes, and they behave very differently on different skins. The brand says its oud comes from responsible sources, and the bottle is a faceted piece with a crystal-studded cap. Before you buy 100 ml of it, a decant filled by FragranceGems lets you try the perfume itself.

Frequently asked
Does it have a sea scent?
The brand gives it a marine theme, but the notes are citrus, spice and resin. The sea is the picture the brand paints, not a recorded ingredient, so the sample will not smell of salt water.
Which resins does it use?
Frankincense, myrrh, opoponax, styrax and benzoin, plus oud and ciste. The sample is a good way to see which of them stands out for you.
Is this decant made by Fragrance Du Bois?
No, it is not an official brand sample. It is a 10 ml decant that FragranceGems fills from the original bottle and labels itself. Fragrance Du Bois is not involved.
The brand
About Fragrance Du Bois
Fragrance Du Bois, from Paris, works under the motto 'Born in Nature, Crafted in France': the perfumes are composed in Paris, produced in Grasse, and most of them are sold as Parfum, the richest concentration. Oud the brand calls responsibly sourced runs through the Intense line, but the range also holds a cherry, a coffee-and-caramel gourmand and a creamy sandalwood. Dense perfumes like these deserve a 10 ml decant first; a few wearings tell you more than a shop visit.
- Paris house whose motto reads 'Born in Nature, Crafted in France'
- The brand states its perfumes are composed in Paris and made in Grasse
- Every perfume is signed by its own master perfumer, named on the brand's site

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
