Fragrance Du Bois New York Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Pierre-Constantin Guéros. New York Intense opens with Orange, Rose, Cinnamon, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Guaiac Wood, Orchid, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Oud. Fragrance Du Bois's New York Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

New York Intense by Fragrance Du Bois is a divisive beast. Some laud its sophisticated, regal aroma, calling it a smoother, more refined take on Amouage Jubilation XXV. Others are deeply disappointed, branding it a weak, overpriced clone with woeful performance. Approach with caution and sample first.

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.

About

A complex opening of juicy orange and blackberry mingles with warm cinnamon and green bay leaf, leading into a rich heart where honeyed immortelle and creamy vanilla entwine with smoky guaiac wood and spicy clove. The dry down is a grounding embrace of earthy patchouli, deep oud, and musky cedar, balanced by the balsamic sweetness of myrrh and frankincense.
