Fragrance Du Bois Sahraa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by François Merle-Baudoin. Sahraa opens with Grapefruit, and settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium. Fragrance Du Bois's Sahraa carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Sahraa is a divisive beast: some hail it a rose-oud masterpiece, a truly opulent sensory journey, while others recoil, finding it cheap, synthetic, or even resembling stomach acid. It's a statement piece, but one that demands a test drive before committing.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its strong sillage and exceptional longevity, Sahraa projects luxury, making it too powerful for most office environments. It shines on dates and formal evenings, where its opulent character can truly be appreciated, but is far too much for casual or sport wear.

About

Sahraa opens with a fleeting, bright burst of grapefruit, before diving headfirst into a rich, warm spicy heart. Rose and geranium intertwine with an earthy patchouli, all underscored by a smooth, clean oud. The base envelops you in amber, saffron, and a hint of a peppery woody sweetness, creating a complex and luxurious aura that lingers for ages.
