Bois d‘Oud

To start: I do not usually like oud fragrances - not at all. I would exclude this note from the the notes search when I contemplate a perfume. And i have went through a lot of search for a suitable oud fragrance for my collection. Not until I came across this beauty: it captivated we immediately with its subtle almost too careful path towatds oud note. I’d say initially it’s more on the feminine side with a slight sweetness shimmering for ca 5 min, until then it’s a careful almost very subtle oud scent. After initial introduction (like with the rest of the PMC collection) the note goes into the full bloom, as if it shrugs off all its shyness and reveals the most enticing sides of itself - and yet this oud , even when fully developed, does not make me feel like a have a throat ache and thyroid is popping out.The shop assistant told me that this particular fragrance is chosen by the customers who can’t bear a naturally strong oriental style oud. It captivated me and held this way for a few hours afterwards. So I left the shop with a FB of this marvel still wondering what the development could bring later, popped into the taxi and boom - I get the compliment from the taxi driver saying that I smelled marvellous (wow - I thought - this should be a keeper frag for me). I love it another big win from me to PMC - as their Tuberose Absolue and ylang ylang Nosy Be totally turned me into the devoted fan of this house, I have gotten over the oud search with a huge success of finding the one .

EN. Judging by the relatively low price (€ 125.00) the composition of this perfume: synthetic Oud, accompanied by some other synthetic ingredients (such as plum and peach, because it's impossible to extract from the fruit the aromatic oils). But it doesn't make it bad perfume. It's very strong, rich and exciting, which gives a feeling of great "Oud for beginners" avoiding the initial note of moldy cheese that characterizes the fungus, that attacks the core of agarwood, creates this unique and so specific scent of Oud. I would say that Bois D'Oud is a winning mix of a great perfume, a nice bottle at an affordable price. IT. A giudicare dal prezzo relativamente basso (€ 125,00) la composizione del profumo: Oud sintetico, accompagnato da alcuni altri ingredienti sintetici (come la prugna e la pesca, perché dai frutti impossibile estrarre gli oli aromatici). Tutto sommato però il profumo è molto resistente, ricco e eccitante, che dà una sensazione di ottimo "Oud per principianti", quindi evitando la nota iniziale di formaggio ammuffito, caratterizzata dal fungo che, attaccando il nucleo dell'albero di agar, crea l'odore unico e così caratteristico di Oud. Si può dire che Bois D'Oud è un vincente mix tra un ottimo profumo, un bel flacone ed un prezzo accessibile.

Some months ago, I had a date with a sexy classmate from my University days. After moments of deep ruminations, I decided to use Bois D'Oud as my SOTN to possibly impress my Date! One thing about this frag is its versatility. Good for office, but has this alluring postmeridian opulence, coupled with the fruity 'floriental' interplay of Plum, Peach, Jasmine, Iris and Rose. While I love Bois D'Oud, I must quickly add that it's not that Oud-forward frag howbeit it's very strong. It's a unisex frag with a slightly masculine bent because of the woodiness (thanks to the Cedarwood and Patchouli notes). The "Oud" seemingly stays in the far background from start to finish! As a lover of potent Ouds in perfumes, I almost had olfactory dissonance when I caught a whiff of it on Day 1! Not really for me (because of the teeny weeny Oud note) but I (still) love it because of Patchouli in the drydown! Definitely not for everyone except you're a bona fide niche parfum Connoisseur!

An excellent intimate fragrance that is unisex right down the middle; absolutely wonderful. Bois d'Oud starts out with oud and plum, followed by more oud and plum and a touch of creamy vanilla and spices. Vanilla is more prominent during the dry down, but oud and fruity notes, while toned-down, there for the life of the fragrance. This fragrance has fleeting similarities to Tom Ford Plum Japonais and Bond No. 9 Andy warhol mainly to the prominent plum and oud accords. However, they are far more dissimilar due to Bois d'Oud having a plastic-plum vibe, and it backed with dark ebony woods in the base, which become more earthy and deep. Bois d'Oud lasts a solid 10-hours on my skin and projects about average, which is perfect for this kind of fragrance, which I find to be a sexy, intimate scent, and one of my favorites from Perris Monte Carlo. A definite try for plum-oud lovers.
