A very special perfume

Wasnt love at first sniff for me, definitely took me a while to understand and appreciate this scent, it is a resinous acquatic, as oxymoronic as this description sounds, the perfumer did a crazy good job blending this one and it is very multi faceted. I never thought of it being summer king, i always like to look at other scents for it but always find myself reaching for oud bleu. It became a very special scent for me and a signature and made so many memories with it throughout the past 3 years that i keep on wearing it. It is my 3rd bottle now, began with 15 mls then 50 and now 100ml and I can see myself wearing this scent for many years to come. It is very unexpected that this scent became my signature since I smelled it first time. Maybe because it is special and nothing smells like it? Maybe versatile? Maybe also quite sexy? Maybe just suits me? For all I know is that I always feel good wearing this scent and I recommend everyone go through a small decant as it does take a while to fully understand and appreciate the scent. Not for beginner noses. I've tried many scents throughout my journey and own and owned quite a few special scents but the 2 scents I always reach for with pleasure is oud bleu for day and roja parfum de la nuit 3 for special occasion, if i could only have 2 scents it would be these two.

Unique fragrance profile

Despite the cost of the bottle, this was in my experience one of those outside profile scent, unique and original ..performance are always relative while contextualised in an rich and elegant contempt as this fragrance aim to express .
Together with Sahraa, I consider Oud blue, the best top tier of the entire collection from Fragrance Di Bois

Earthy green 'blue' scent

Oud Bleu Intense is a fresh, spicy amber scent with a vaguely aquatic theme. It seems to derive its marine references from the naturally earthy nuances of myrrh and the cold green wateriness of cardamom, rather than the chemical awfulness of Calone or Ambroxan. Thank heavens for small mercies, I suppose.

The natural feel of Oud Bleu does not quite compensate for a general banality of composition or thinness of texture, however. A satisfying counterpart to this might be found on the shelves of any department store for less than half the price.

Mass-Compatible Oriental - a rather soft, slightly fruity spring Oud

'Mass-compatible' is probably not an attribute that the company Du Bois will wish for, given the price. A niche fragrance for 420 euros (50 ml), which has yet to receive any comments?

A slightly fruity opening, clearly recognizable as a somewhat waxy mandarin, rounded off with a lightly nutty-dry cardamom. A very delicately applied smoky note joins in, all used in an extremely moderate manner, light-footed, perhaps a bit vague in the composition.

"Intense" is not much here; one could almost rename the fragrance to "Oud Bleu Cologne."
The namesake Oud itself, which the company advertises as 100% organic and real, comes across as distinctly oriental, slightly sweet, bright, and minimally resinous. The opposite of heavy or voluminous, thanks to the fine cistus, it is rather more balsamic-resinous in character.

All in all, a quite nice fragrance that doesn't hurt anyone, but otherwise comes across as remarkably pale and harmless.

SpeedDating #02/4: Bleu - wild & noble

Oud Bleu Intens brings herbal-woody notes to the forefront. Dried herbs and delicate minty nuances highlight that very green-camphor-like quality that Oud can also possess. It reminds me of bitter-green and wild scents like Heeley's Phoenicia or D.S. & Durga's, but is soon enveloped by warm, good-natured wood.

Almost salty, mineral-stony, and distinctly herbal, the fragrance reminds me of classic men's perfumes and the herb-fresh scents of men's department stores. Citrus fruits, peat, and whiskey complement the autumnal freshness, painting a picture of colorful green deciduous forests, already traversed by the first cold winter air. Crunchy, almost bitter sage and sour woods illuminate the green side of Oud extensively, without losing the glowing warmth deep down. Supported by the resinous-bitter yet also buttery-soft olfactorily extraordinary resin Opoponax, the scent remains always between wildness and classic seriousness, always between cool minerality and a warming heart...
