Secret Tryst
Secret Tryst by Fragrance Du Bois is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, saffron and cardamom, moves into rose, jasmine, cedarwood and vetiver and dries down to patchouli, frankincense, labdanum and vanilla. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
