A Ripe Fruit, With A Bitter Tinge.

Rude Oud is a personal favourite of mine from Du bois. It was given to me as a gift by the owner of which I am incredibly grateful for, yet it will not stop me from writing an unbiased review.

Rude oud is an exceptional fruity fragrance, though a bit unusual from the normal format. Rude oud starts off with a fragrant blast of ripe, tart, and illustrious fruits, followed by a bit of a harsh tinge. While it may be a tad bit bitter, its quite a bold yet interesting contrast to the fruitiness!
The duality of this pungent sweet delicious basket of ripe raspberry's and other assortments in combination with a tart, slightly bitter rose and oud makes for a refreshing, easily wearable fragrance that I love. While the scent may be wonderful, it does come at a steep price if it isnt given to you, so be weary of that. Another con is the fact is doesn't exactly last for that long, maybe 4-6 hours max.

Aside from all that, its its expensive tag; if you like fruity frags, this is for you.

More "gentlemanly" than "rude"

The name promises cheekiness - yet Rude Oud comes with elegance. Like those dark suits with a rebellious detail, sensual, warm, and incredibly noble.
The oud is present, but refined - not a beast, but a gentleman with depth.
One of those fragrances that whisper confidence instead of shouting.

A gentleman scent that definitely also suits a power lady!!

The Whispering Tone of Ouds

It was late in the evening when I left the city behind and stepped into the quiet garden of my small apartment. The streetlights cast warm, yellow beams of light onto the sidewalk, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of wet asphalt and blooming jasmine bushes to me. In my hand lay the small bottle: Rude Oud by Fragrance Du Bois. I had just opened it, a luxury I rarely indulged in, and even the first spray changed the air around me.

The oud struck immediately, dark, mysterious, powerful. It was not a sweet, tame scent; it demanded my attention, took possession of my senses as if it wanted to pull me into another world. Yet beneath it lay something soft, almost vulnerable: a warm embrace of vanilla and a hint of rosewood that balanced the sharpness of the oud. I breathed deeply, and suddenly the little garden was no longer my living room substitute between concrete walls. I stood in an old marketplace in Marrakech, surrounded by spices, leather, and the soft melody of Arabic street music.

I closed my eyes and let the scent work its magic. Each nuance told its own story: the dark, smoky depth like a campfire on the edge of the desert, the sweet undertones like a hidden garden behind tall walls, the light wooden accents like ancient, mysterious doors that only I could open. It was as if someone had packed an entire continent into a bottle and handed me the key.

At that moment, I heard my phone ring, a message from an old friend: “Let’s have another drink, somewhere outside, under the city lights.” I smiled. The oud enveloped me like an invisible cloak, making me feel confident, almost unshakeable. I pulled my coat tighter, left the garden, and felt the streets of London pulsating beneath my feet as the scent continued to tell its story of journeys, secrets, small rebellions against the everyday.

Later, as I held the glass in my hand and looked at the lights of the Thames, I noticed how the oud transformed. It was still strong, smoky, and mysterious, but suddenly soft and warm, like a friend sitting next to me, silently understanding. I thought about how rarely a scent can shape a moment, surrounding it with its own aura. Rude Oud was more than just a perfume; it was an experience, a little dance between strength and intimacy, between adventure and homecoming.

I returned home late, the bottle safely on my nightstand. When I opened it for one last spray, the scent was different, familiar, like a memory of everything I had experienced in the last few hours. I knew it would not only linger on my skin. It would remain in my thoughts, in my heart, as a silent companion in moments that craved secrets, warmth, and adventure.

Rude oud is a beautiful oud raspberry scent. It’s a Harods exclusive and harder to get. If you can smell it!

Ripe red berries meet leather and amber. Oud is kept in check. Whether original or not, this scent is definitely great.

Very fruity raspberry from start to finish. Oud, saffron, and leather skillfully support the scent. Great piece!

Sweetened raspberries on delicate oud in cozy amber. Saffron, rose, (wild) leather softly blended. Typical Harrods. Fruity love.

From my perspective, it's a mix of LVON and Widian London. Just a bit too much leather… it's okay.

Very fruity opening, almost like strawberry (Ishq), then saffron and leather join in, making RO a mature, rugged...

Synthetic leather screams at me, please stop. Raspberry-saffron oddly blended. Where's the oud? Not nice; shrill. No thanks.

Similar to the Londons, but somehow berry-like and darker, yet also a bit uneven. I really like it a lot! Bottle and everything around it are top-notch. H/S top!
