Rude Cherry
Rude Cherry by Fragrance Du Bois is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with paprika, cherry, almond and watery notes, moves into tonka bean, saffron, rose, vetiver and cypriol and dries down to oud, vanilla, musk, ambergris and vetiver. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Paprika Warm, dusty red spice. Adds heat without sharpness.
- Cherry Sweet, syrupy and a bit almondy. Currently everywhere.
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Watery Notes A clear, wet freshness. Less salty than a sea note.
Heart
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
