Fragrance Du Bois is a niche house known for its focus on oud and wood-forward compositions, with Lovers representing their exploration of more accessible, balanced fragrances while maintaining their signature woody DNA.

Lovers opens with passionfruit and plum layered over ginger and bergamot, establishing a fruity-spicy top that feels immediately warm and inviting. The heart expands into a floral core of rose, jasmine, and saffron, grounding the sweetness from the opening and adding depth without turning overly perfumey. A substantial woody base of patchouli, cashmere wood, cedarwood, sandalwood, and vetiver anchors everything, giving the fragrance the sophisticated woodiness you'd expect from the house while keeping the composition balanced between its fruity and floral elements.

This is a versatile fragrance that works for anyone drawn to warm, woody scents with unexpected fruit and spice elements. It's equally suited to cooler months and office settings, though the fruity opening keeps it from feeling heavy. If you gravitate toward The Mystic, The Cipher, and The Maverick, Lovers should appeal to your taste.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Passionfruit
Passionfruit
Tropical, intensely aromatic, and slightly tart, passionfruit has one of the most distinctive scents in the fruit world: exotic, floral-fruity, and slightly green, like a rainforest garden. In perfumery it adds an unmistakably tropical character. Used in compositions that want genuine exotic provenance rather than a generic 'tropical' note.
Plum
Plum
Dark, slightly tart, and warm, plum has a wine-like depth that makes it more serious than cherry or peach. It adds a fruity darkness to oriental fragrances, with a slightly fermented quality that bridges fruit and leather families. Used to add drama and depth to floral-oriental compositions.
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
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
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Saffron
Saffron
The most expensive spice in the world has a leathery, honeyed, slightly metallic quality that is immediately recognizable. In perfumery, saffron adds a dark, animalic richness, it's the note that gives oud-rose fragrances their distinctive regal depth. A little goes a long way; too much reads as medicinal.
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
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.
Cashmere Wood
Cashmere Wood
Cedarwood
Cedarwood
Clean, dry, and pencil-shaving familiar, cedar brings structure without heaviness. Depending on the variety (Atlas, Virginia, Texas), it can range from slightly sweet and waxy to sharply aromatic. It's a workhorse base note that gives woody fragrances their spine, and it's universally flattering on skin.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
