Sunny citrus, tropical fruit and soft caramel
Fragrance Du Bois Tropiques is a Parfum that the brand sells as a ticket to a summer without end: a fruity-floral that is meant to feel sunny and easy. Fruit-led scents can turn from cheerful to sticky depending on skin, so a 10 ml decant is a sensible way to see whether this holiday mood suits you.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The start is bergamot and mandarin, clean and bright, while tropical fruit turns the brightness juicy and sweet. That makes it the sunniest and most obvious moment of the perfume, so check how it feels when it is warm outside as well as inside.
At the heart sit lavandin, an aromatic, lavender-like note, and two ingredient names that the brand puts in its pyramid: Mahonial® and Rosyfolia®. The aromatic side of lavandin keeps the fruit from getting syrupy, and gives the sweetness a cleaner outline.
The base turns softer and cosier: caramel brings a warm, slightly toasted sweetness, amber a golden glow, and musk a smooth landing near the skin. This is where the perfume moves from holiday freshness to something warmer, and where your own preference decides.
Testing it
Test the decant on a warm day, on the inside of the wrists or at the nape, and use a restrained amount at first. Pay attention to how the citrus gives way to the caramel and musk base, since that change is what you are buying. A second trial in the evening shows whether it stays pleasant when the sun is gone.
The brand lists it as unisex. This sample is for people who like bright fruity florals with a soft, sweet finish and prefer a sunny scent to a serious one. It is also a good trial if you collect warm-weather perfumes and want to know whether this one earns a place.
Summery fruit and caramel is a combination that tastes different on different people, and no description can predict it. FragranceGems fills the decant from the original bottle into a 10 ml glass spray vial, and we label it. It is not a sample from the brand, and the house is not involved.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

They are aroma ingredient names that the brand writes into the heart of its pyramid, next to lavandin. They are trademarked, so we spell them the way the brand does.
Yes. We pour it from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and label it ourselves. It is a decant, not a Fragrance Du Bois sample, and we are not affiliated with the brand.
The brand's idea is an endless summer, so warm days suit it best. With a sample you can also try it on a cooler day and see whether the caramel and amber base still feels comfortable.
It starts citrusy and tropical, but the heart has an aromatic lavandin and the base has caramel, amber and musk. How that balance reads is personal, which is why a few trial days are useful.
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
