2020 · unisex

Fragrance Du Bois is a niche house focused on oud-centric compositions, with Borneo Oud representing their take on the polarizing ingredient sourced from the Malaysian region. Released in 2020, it balances oud's typically austere character with sweeter, more approachable elements.

The fragrance opens with almond and bergamot brightened by cardamom and spruce, creating an almost gourmand introduction that softens oud's typical harshness. The heart settles into a floral-amber framework anchored by white oud, jasmine, and lavender, which keeps the composition from becoming too sweet. The base deepens with traditional oud alongside vanilla, liquor, and musk, building complexity while maintaining a creamy, amber-forward signature that threads throughout.

This is an oud fragrance for those who find straight oud compositions too austere or animalic. Borneo Oud works well for evening wear and cooler months, though the gourmand elements give it enough approachability for warmer seasons too. It suits anyone drawn to The Reverie, The Seducer, and The Vanguard sensibilities.

almond
almond
Sweet, warm, and slightly creamy, almond has a marzipan-like quality that sits at the edge of floral and gourmand. It's softer and rounder than vanilla, with a gentle nuttiness that adds warmth without weight. Often used in classic powdery florals and in oriental compositions that want sweetness without sugar.
bergamot
bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
cardamom
cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
floral notes
floral notes
spruce
spruce
The sharp, clean, and slightly sweet conifer note of spruce trees adds a forest-fresh quality to compositions. Spruce is slightly warmer and less medicinal than pine, with a balsamic sweetness and a crisp, mountainous freshness. Used in outdoorsy, winter, and fresh woody compositions to evoke cold forest air.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
amber
amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
cedar
cedar
jasmine
jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
lavender
lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
white oud
white oud
A lighter, cleaner interpretation of oud that emphasizes its sweet, milky, and woody facets while minimizing the animalic and smoky qualities. White oud is the modern, accessible face of oud, created to appeal to those who want the prestige and warmth of oud without its more challenging intensity. Common in contemporary Gulf-region and mainstream luxury fragrances.
Base · 3–12 hrs
amber
amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
liquor
liquor
musk
musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
oud
oud
The most prized and expensive raw material in perfumery, a resinous wood produced by agarwood trees infected with a specific mold. Real oud is animalic, smoky, leathery, and sometimes medicinal, with enormous lasting power. It anchors the great Middle Eastern fragrances and has become the defining luxury note of contemporary perfumery.
vanilla
vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
