Fragrance Du Bois Heritage is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by François Merle-Baudoin. Heritage opens with Bergamot and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Jasmine, Iris, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Oud. Fragrance Du Bois's Heritage carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is the ultimate 'clean girl' scent, a luxurious aldehyde-floral bomb that screams sophistication. It's wildly expensive and divisive, with some finding it heavenly and others claiming it smells like old soap or even BO. Definitely try before you buy.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its 'luxury soap' profile, make it suitable for formal events where elegance is key. While some see it as a daily wear, its intensity and high price point might feel over-the-top for casual or sporty settings.

About

Heritage opens with a sparkling burst of aldehydes and bright bergamot, immediately evoking a pristine, 'just stepped out of a luxury bath' vibe. The heart unfolds into a sophisticated bouquet of florals, with elegant iris and jasmine softened by a hint of mysterious incense. As it settles, a creamy woody base of cedar, sandalwood, and a whisper of oud emerges, grounding the ethereal top and mid notes with subtle warmth and depth.
