Lovers

Lovers by Fragrance Du Bois is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with passionfruit, ginger, plum and bergamot, moves into rose, saffron and jasmine and dries down to vetiver, cedarwood, cashmere wood, sandalwood and patchouli. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Passionfruit Sharp, tropical and slightly sulphurous. Vivid and modern.
Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.

Dry-down

Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
