EDP · 2015 · unisex

Fragrance Du Bois is a niche house focused on oud-centric compositions, and London Oud is their 2015 interpretation of the Middle Eastern ingredient filtered through a decidedly Western lens. The fragrance balances the house's oud expertise with contemporary freshness, making it more accessible than a traditional oud fragrance.

The composition opens with bright mint, lemon, and bergamot over marine and green accords, creating an immediately crisp, aromatic character. The heart introduces sea notes alongside lavender, white flowers, and jasmine, adding depth without sacrificing the fresh character established upfront. The base is where the oud reveals itself, grounded by nutmeg, cardamom, cedar, and patchouli, giving the composition warmth and woody substance. The oud here reads refined rather than heavy, complementing the aromatic, spicy framework throughout.

London Oud suits those seeking an oud fragrance that doesn't demand a particular mood or season. It works equally well in an office setting or casual daytime wear, with enough complexity to sustain interest across the day. The fresh opening and balanced base make it versatile year-round, though it shines in cooler months. If you appreciate The Tactician, The Aristocrat, or The Homesteader, this is worth exploring.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Mint
Mint
Cool, sharp, and immediately recognizable, mint adds a clean, almost medicinal freshness that cuts through heavier notes. Spearmint is sweeter; peppermint is sharper. Either way, mint gives fragrances a lively, brisk quality that reads as alert and outdoorsy. Best used as an accent rather than a lead to avoid smelling like toothpaste.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
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.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Sea Notes
Sea Notes
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 Flowers
White Flowers
A family rather than a single note, white flowers in perfumery typically refers to an accord of white-petalled blossoms (jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, lily) blended to create a rich, heady, indolic warmth. The quintessential note of feminine oriental fragrances, sensual and enveloping.
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.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Nutmeg
Nutmeg
Warm, woody, and softly spiced with a slight sweetness that makes it gentler than clove or pepper. Nutmeg adds a quiet, autumnal warmth to fragrances without sharpness. It blends seamlessly into woody and oriental bases, acting more as a supporting character than a lead note.
Agarwood (Oud)
Agarwood (Oud)
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.
Cedar
Cedar
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
