The Dua Brand Gone Swimming in Bois Oudh is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025. Gone Swimming in Bois Oudh opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Neroli, Vetiver, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Oud. The Dua Brand's Gone Swimming in Bois Oudh carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a slow burn, but worth the wait. Initially a bit 'screechy' with a hint of flat orange soda, it macerates into a vibrant, clean orange and oud combo that's potent and undeniably a 'vibe'. Don't dismiss it too soon.

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

Gone Swimming in Bois Oudh opens with a zesty, invigorating burst of citrus - think bright bergamot and mandarin. This sharp freshness is quickly joined by the aromatic warmth of pink pepper and cardamom, adding a spicy lift. As it settles, a clean, woody heart of vetiver and elemi emerges, softened by neroli. The base anchors everything with creamy sandalwood and cedar, a sophisticated touch of oud, and a gentle sweetness from vanilla and tonka. A whisper of ambergris and musk ensures a smooth, lasting impression.
