Fragrance Du Bois Oud Bleu Intense
Cool citrus and spice, then a velvety resin blanket
Oud Bleu Intense is presented by the brand as a marine-inspired perfume built on contrast, composed by Guillaume Flavigny. A fresh lift of mandarin, cardamom and nutmeg gives way to a warm, resinous core of frankincense, myrrh, styrax and benzoin with oud. The notes are citrus, spice and resin; the sea is the brand's picture, not an ingredient.

How it unfolds
-
A cool lift
Mandarin and cardamom open the scent with a clean, slightly sharp brightness, and nutmeg adds a dry warmth to it. The brand calls this start a cool breeze. It is the first impression, and the resins are already waiting underneath.
-
Frankincense, ciste and myrrh
The heart is the pivot: frankincense, ciste, myrrh essence and amber turn the scent from fresh to warm. These are dry, balsamic, slightly smoky notes, and they bring the weight. Ciste is the brand's spelling of the French name for cistus.
-
A velvety blanket
Opoponax resinoid, myrrh resinoid, styrax and benzoin make the base dense and sweetly resinous, with oud inside it. This is the velvety blanket the brand describes. The contrast between the cool opening and this warm, enveloping close is what the perfume is built around.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Wearing Oud Bleu Intense
A resin-rich Parfum asks for a light hand: one or two sprays on the wrists or neck are enough. The fresh top makes it workable in daytime, but the base is at home in autumn and winter, and in the evening.
Who it is for
Unisex, and for people who like incense and resin perfumes and prefer them with a fresh start rather than a dark one. Also for anyone curious about oud who likes the idea of contrast: cool and bright first, deep and warm after.
Why choose Fragrance Du Bois Oud Bleu Intense
Most of its notes are resins: frankincense, myrrh, opoponax, styrax and benzoin, plus oud. According to the brand, its oud comes from responsible sources. Guillaume Flavigny composed it, and the faceted bottle with a crystal-studded cap comes in a velvet-lined gift box.

Frankincense, myrrh, opoponax, styrax and benzoin, with amber and oud. They give the base a warm, velvety density.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
