Byredo Bois Obscur is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025. Bois Obscur opens with Papyrus, Saffron, and Eucalyptus, settles into a heart of Oud, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Labdanum. Byredo's Bois Obscur carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

About

Bois Obscur detonates with a potent blend of sharp eucalyptus and leathery saffron before a rich, almost overwhelming tuberose and jasmine take centre stage. As it settles, a dark, resinous oud and warm amber emerge, intertwined with smoky papyrus and earthy patchouli, creating a complex, enduring sillage. The dry down is a refined dance between intense florals and deep, woody oriental notes.
