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 warm spicy-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.

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.
