Which Should You Buy?
Bois Obscur is a powerhouse scent that's garnered a divisive response - some find it an addictive, sophisticated floral oud, others a pricey tire shop. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who appreciate bold, aggressive florals with serious swagger will find it utterly captivating.
This is a bold, dark, woody oud with a strong leathery character that, confusingly, some find an inoffensive crowd-pleaser and others a petroleum-soaked villain. It's a statement scent for those who like to stand out, but be warned that some find the dry-down disappointing.
