Oud Bleu Intense Fragrance Du Bois

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...
