Tropical coconut, vanilla and a faint oud
Oud Orange Intense is a Parfum from the French house Fragrance Du Bois, composed by Caroline Sabas. The brand calls it a sweet gourmand escape to tropical shores: fruity coconut first, then bourbon vanilla and musk, with only a discreet trace of natural oud. The mix of oud and gourmand is unusual enough that a 10 ml decant is a wise first step.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The scent opens with coconut and fruit, a soft, creamy sweetness that sets the tropical tone. The notes list does not name specific fruits, so it is best to treat this as a general fruity brightness. On a sample, the opening shows quickly whether you enjoy coconut in perfume.
The heart is bourbon vanilla, which the brand places in the middle and again in the base. That repeated vanilla is the centre of the perfume: warm, smooth and sweet. It is the stage where you learn if this is a comforting scent for you or too sweet to wear all day.
The base joins vanilla with musk and a pure vintage oud, which the brand describes as a discreet, natural trace. Oud here is a shadow, not the lead, and it gives the sweetness some depth. Wait for the drydown on skin to see how much of it you actually notice.
Testing it
Pick a warm summer or early autumn day and apply the decant to skin. Check it first for coconut, then wait for the vanilla and musk. Because oud is only a trace, notice whether it adds anything for you. Try it in the evening too, since the brand's gourmand style suits dinners as well as daytime.
For people who like sweet, creamy scents with a holiday feeling and are curious about oud without wanting a heavy, smoky one. It is unisex and suits daily wear and evenings, and especially warm months. Fans of vanilla and coconut combinations will find the most to enjoy here.
Coconut, vanilla and oud is a combination with strong fans and strong doubters, and 100 ml is a large bottle to find out in. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample, and Fragrance Du Bois is not involved.

No. The brand says only a discreet trace of natural oud sits beneath coconut, bourbon vanilla and musk. It leans gourmand, not smoky or resinous.
A Parfum, the highest tier of concentration, from the house's Intense line. A light hand is therefore enough while you test it.
Caroline Sabas is named as the perfumer. Fragrance Du Bois is a French house founded in 2013, and this scent dates from the same year.
The brand
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.

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
