Fragrance Du Bois Lovers is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Shadi Samra. Lovers opens with Bergamot, Ginger, Plum, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Fragrance Du Bois's Lovers carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is definitely divisive. It's either a luxurious, attention-grabbing aphrodisiac or an overpriced, synthetic mess you'd get for a tenner. Lovers has a prominent saffron-rose-fruit profile that will either enchant or annoy you. Sample before you buy, seriously.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and strong sillage, coupled with its intense and opulent notes, make it too bold for office wear. However, these same characteristics, especially the sensual fruit and floral blend, are perfect for a date night or a formal evening, where it can truly shine.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Lovers opens with a juicy, bright burst of passionfruit and plum, undercut by a spicy kick of ginger and zingy bergamot. The heart unfolds into a rich, velvety rose and sweet jasmine, warmed by the leathery, slightly medicinal touch of saffron. The drydown settles into a sophisticated blend of cashmere wood and creamy sandalwood, grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli.
