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.

Oud. I have Aoud Shafran Montale, Oud Wood Tom Ford and several more perfumes with an oud note as a prominent one. Oud was very popular 7-5 years ago, but not now. I reject even to test new ones because oud note is so prominent and powerful which makes all perfumes with it alike. But it’s completely different with Perris. The wrap oud in different way. If you sniff 20-30 minutes after application, you hardly recognize oud in the first moment, obviously you will identify it in the second moment ) because it’s nature of oud to dominate, but this niche perfume is really new life of oud, king of oud and the most sophisticated oud fragrance at the moment. Longevity and projection are exactly what they should be - not overwhelming as other oud’sss. My opinion - this is the best niche oud perfume at the moment.

I thought I was losing my mind because this is clearly quite spice laden but no spices are shown in the notes above, so I just checked the PMC website and here's their note list, which I find a much better descriptor than what Fragrantica shows above: Head: Fresh, Fruity, Bergamot Heart: Rose, Spices, Cinnamon, Jasmine Base: Saffron, Oudh, Musk, Vanilla This was an instant like that grew into a love after more wears. Some kind of brightness lifting up dense stone fruits stewed with spices, a dirty rubbery oud accord (that smooths out immensely as it dries down); all softened by vanilla but not overpowered by it. By far not a safe blind buy, but a unique composition worth sampling if you aren't turned off by the depiction of the oud note that starts off oily or rubbery

I am sitting at a scarred and ancient wooden bench, waxed by time and tears and many caressing hands. There is a ceramic pot sealed with beeswax nestled in a bowl of plums, but the seal has been broken and the honey within is exposed to the air for the first time in 2000 years. My hands are anointed with spiced oils and when I reach for a plum and bring it to my lips I taste the honey, the oil, the spices, and the oozing promise of the fruit. Bois D'oud is sexy like a cautionary tale from 1001 Nights. No matter the consequence I would reach for it, compelled by invisible spirits to probable delicious doom.

A very interesting take on Oud: Bois d‘Oud is very sweet, like a thick, sticky stewed fruit compote in the opening. Dry down brings out more spices and vanilla along with an oily Oud note. And Bois d‘Oud feels very opulent in a masculine way. I get smoking jacket and money clip vibes. I also smell the interior of a very expensive luxury car. If you love Oud and think you’ve smelled it all before, check out Bois d‘Oud. Perris Monte Carlo does not disappoint. Wear this and people around you will be swooning. Unfortunately it’s not quite my style, but I’m still voting thumbs up.

For me Bois d' Oud is one of the warm and smoothy scents. Acually I can't describe what makes it so attracting to me. It's just perfect, I always have to take a "sniff" at the empty sample sprayer and long for a bottle of it. In common I am the type of flowery parfumes without lilly of the valley, lilly, hyazinths, daffodils and jasmin. I even like Dia/Amouage, Collecible Zeta a Linden blossom, Osmanthus, Datura---. And on the other hand "Eussersdorf Classic myrrh" "Cardinal".....At least I have decide and choice for different direction of fragances.

To me, Bois D'oud kind of smells like the inside of a brand new Mercedes or something like that. The oud here is very clean and quite medicinal, so I can see how this comes off synthetic to most people, but for me, I get alot of that new-car smell. I could see this on a Mercedes-driving CEO in a pinstripe suit. Very mature, very hard to pull off, but if you can, Bois D'oud is stellar.

Dry, polished wood, resinous and luminous. The wood carries a floral undertone, like rose petals pressed into the grain, and a subtle balsamic warmth gives the scent a refined backbone. Magnificent, and enough to show why so many perfumers are drawn to the oud-rose combo: there’s something in this interplay of dry, resinous oud with luminous rose that feels endlessly appealing.

I have visited a niche oerfumery yesterday, have tried It and It has justo become one of my favourite perfumes. This is a very different and special enelll. It is sweet and elegant. Strong but not intrusive. It is a las oody and fruity perfum with a good longevity and sillage. A very good discoveribg! Scent: 10 Longevity: 9 Sillage: 8 Quality/price: 8 Versatility: 9 Global: 9

Whenever I see a plummy perfume where the reviews say, "it's dark," "it's mysterious," "it's bewitching," I'm disappointed. They're too fruity and light, or sour (Plum Japonais). THIS is the dark plum you're looking for. Perfection. It's actually more of a mulberry (remember those candles and sachets from the 90s? I always wanted those in a perfume). A nice beginner oud, too.

Opening is very beautiful, hard to describe, but sophisticated and expensive. This is not an oud dominated fragrance. Oud is there but it's rather quiet, soft & shy. I am not crazy about the drydown though. The fragrance turns sugary, powdery and musky on me. Reminds me of a scent of a vintage cosmetics. Overall, still very nice fragrance.

This stuff smells gorgeous. I love a nice woody scent... but even more, I love a scent with some Plum in there... and even more!!... I love a scent that performs! Bam, this beauty has it all. I would love to get a full bottle of this. (If anyone has one they want to shake lemme know). Buy this.

Potent, dark, everlasting, manly but sweet smell. Leather, saffron, petrol. Worth much more than its price or similar scents in other brands. Think a darker, dirtier crystal saffron or Memos Cappadocia.

Although not listed, I get saffron which accompanies the oud throughout. Big, heavy wafts are produced that last the entire day. A unisex that may lean only slightly masculine. Very beautiful imo.

Gorgeous! The drydown reminds me of Theorema Fendi although I can't see any cinnamon here. Maybe it's because of the plum and labdanum which I both like.

Nice juice, unisex fruity woodsy dry down. It does have a hint of ambergis. After 3 days of continuous wearing there is a slight urine smell.
