Oud Vert Intense

Fragrance Du Bois Oud Vert Intense: A Considered Review

There is a category of fragrance bought once and remembered for years, and Oud Vert Intense sits in it for a measurable reason. This EDP from Fragrance Du Bois, built on Citrus, Woody, Oud, Aromatic, Warm Spicy and released in 2013, was composed to be distinctive first and agreeable second. The data below shows exactly where that trade-off lands.

A masterclass in pairing bright, sparkling western citrus notes with ethically sourced, 100% organic vintage real oud oil.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Oud Vert Intense opens with Bergamot, Lemon and Mandarin Orange — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Neroli, Cardamom and Coriander. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: 100% Pure Organic Vintage Oud, Cedar and White Musk.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Citrus, Woody, Oud, Aromatic, Warm Spicy — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.

Value (5/10): At around $450, there is a real question of whether the experience fully justifies the investment. Consider the alternatives in this review before committing.
