Fragrance Du Bois - Rude Oud

Raspberry and saffron land with deliberate boldness, the fruit tart and metallic at once, before rose and leather pull the composition into darker, more ceremonial territory. Beneath it all, oud and amber hold everything in amber-warm suspension.

The Nose

Composed by Christian Provenzano for Fragrance Du Bois, also behind Agent Provocateur, Christian Provenzano Parfums Patchouli Noir and Christian Provenzano Parfums Spezia.

Fragrance Character

The opening is assertive: saffron's iron-tinged warmth cuts through the raspberry's sweetness and keeps sentiment at arm's length. Rose emerges not as softness but as depth, braced by leather's dry, smoky grain. On the drydown, oud dominates with resinous authority, the amber rounding its edges as the whole thing settles close to skin and stays there for hours.

Best Worn

Cold evenings and formal settings suit it best, a winter coat, low candlelight, the occasion that demands presence rather than politeness.

Why the Rude Oud Decant

Oud this raw and sillage this heavy is a genuine commitment, and a decant lets you know exactly what you are walking into before you do.
