Our verdict on Bois Obscur: Acquired

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.
