Fragrance Du Bois is a niche house focused on woody fragrances and olfactory craftsmanship, with a particular emphasis on rare and precious wood materials. New York 5th Avenue, released in 2020, reflects the brand's signature approach to composition.

The fragrance opens with rose and bergamot before moving into a caramel-forward heart accented by cypriol oil and violet. The base is anchored by cashmere wood and guaiac wood, warmed by vanilla and musk. The overall composition balances gourmand sweetness with woody depth, creating something that's neither purely creamy nor strictly aromatic. The rose and caramel give it an accessible softness, while the wood base provides substantive drydown and prevents it from reading as overly dessert-like.

This works well for anyone drawn to woody fragrances with a gourmand twist, particularly those who prefer their woods tempered with warmth rather than austerity. It's versatile enough for everyday wear but has enough complexity for someone genuinely interested in fragrance. Best suited to The Romantic, The Homesteader, and The Heirloom sensibilities.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
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.
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
Caramel
Caramel
Warm, buttery, and sweet with a slight bitterness from the cooking process, caramel is one of perfumery's most approachable gourmand notes. It adds a comforting, edible quality without going full dessert, and it softens and rounds other notes beautifully. A pillar of the Angel-inspired oriental-gourmand genre.
Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha
Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Cashmere Wood
Cashmere Wood
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.
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.'
Guaiac Wood
Guaiac Wood
Smoky, slightly rosy, and dry, guaiac wood has a gentle, transparent smokiness that doesn't overwhelm. It's often used to add a campfire-distant quality to woody or oriental fragrances without going full leather or incense. One of perfumery's more understated and quietly beautiful materials.
