Oud Bleu Intense

Oud Bleu Intense by Fragrance Du Bois is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with cardamom, nutmeg and mandarin, moves into frankincense, labdanum, myrrh and amber and dries down to opoponax, myrrh, styrax, benzoin and oud. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.

Heart

Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.

Dry-down

Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
