I think the name is definitely bad but I really enjoy the scent. I think it makes a great office scent and I was able to pick it up at $180 at fragbuy. Never would have considered it at retail. Honestly almost every isn’t worth retail for me. It’s very rare. Great review!
I had a travel atomizer of this, it's all you said. No Blue, no Oud & not intense. FINALLY someone calling a spade a spade 💯 👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼, I rocks with you Robes!
I liked Oud Violet Intense. That said though, I couldn't smell it on me after an hour. I did spritz my pillow after that hour, and yes the next day I could get traces of it, but. I never pulled the trigger, even when it was reduced. I'd rather get a couple of attar's with violet in it. Happy New Year.
Got this at a massive discount on an FB forum. Very nice, wearable, safe, amber freshie. Undeniably good quality and blend but absolutely not worth retail.
I tried this by sample a few years ago. I actually got a little aqua smokiness, but the performance on me was almost non-existent. Disappeared off my skin in about 30 minutes. Because I liked it, I got another sample, hoping that my first was just bad, but with the same result. I had my family tell me they couldn't smell it either, so I wasn't just going nose blind. I've tried others from this house but everything just seems o.k. Nothing ever seems to stand out, like you said
I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I got a sample set of about 8-10 of their scents a while back. I liked about half of them. Cavort, Secret Tryst, and London Spice were all ok. PM was good but just settled into a big ole green patchouli bomb. Oud Jaune Intense was probably the most well done, but it's a hyper-feminine frangipani/ylang-ylang/fruit bomb. That said, the ones I liked were good, but nothing mindblowing and none were worth more than $150. Funny enough, the Demi one was by far the worst of the lot.
This is not bad fragrance at all. Very overpriced. Only 2 fragrances i would go full bottle from FDB are Sahraa and Parisien. Unfortunately, they are extremly overpriced, and thats the end of story for this brand
Because of the hype, I got samples of London Spice and Bleu. I'm on the fence on LS, but it would have be seriously discounted. I have the ambre from Parfum De Empire on the way. I watched the fragrancer video, his explanation of the fragrance made it blind-buy worthy!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I do get where you're coming from in relation to Fragrance Du Bois. I own just 2, namely Sahraa and Parisian. Both were purchased heavily discounted, and that's probably the primary reason why I picked them up. Other than that, I was swayed by numerous reviews telling me how the brand is the epitome of luxury. Don't get me wrong, both smell good, but I have much better fragrances in my collection at a fraction of the cost. So I'm back to where I started with the Brand, i.e., very much on the fence, and won't be rushing to purchase.
I’ve smelled a lot of this line while overseas. Parisian is probably my favorite of the lot. Bleu Oud Intense smelled like detergent to me. Something grated my nose.
There are some good once in FDB lineup. Santal Complet, Parisian, NY Intense and Secret Tryst are not bad at all. Overpriced? Yep. But what’s not overpriced these days? Scent wise very pleasant but not too original that’s for sure. But great review, thnx. Listened to one of the reviews from de Erica something or rather. What a phony, that one loves everything.
This is one of 3 FdB’s I own. Fair review, this is good but at the same time nothing special. I got a 50 ml for 140 euro which for me was worth it. Others I own are Sahraa and Secret Tryst. Also got those at a huge discount. Don’t pay retail for this brand but at 50% or more off some are worth it imo.
@robes08 - Mark, what is the best resource (or way) to find out a fragrance is being discontinued BEFORE it happens? I would really like to cop some discontinued decent frags (like mugler) before the price goes crazy.
its nice but sh1t at the same time cos of the lack of projection and sillage - way too expensive. Im sticking to oud oils from the perfumist in istanbul now
I agree with Marc about 50% of the time - this is the 50% that we're on the same page. This house is extremely overpriced. Is the quality good? Yes, but nowhere near the prices they charge. I gave this decant away... It's a spicy, ozonic type of scent. No oud, no Blue, not intense. It's baffling.
New Iraqi subscriber .. try out these bro : Baraonda by nassomato , vanille havane by les indemodables, a'cour desert du marocain by tauer , chergui, Fahrenheit le parfum, psychedelique by jovoy.
I don't think I could ever objectively rate them, just because I don't think I would ever willingly have their fragrance in my collection. Not just the price, but it's the principle of what they did to ATH. I think threatening to fuck with someone's entire life because they had fair and valid criticism of your product isn't just petty, but it's evil. What do you expect, though, from a company that pays for people to give them good reviews?
Nothing like bullying critics to scream class. Having a bunch of these free is as much of a flex to me as someone showing a free haul of albums and then claiming to be a musician. If I didnt dislike eyerolling so much, I'd roll my eyes 😅
Marc, your honesty is like a rare gem nowadays!
Much appreciated!
The J Z entry gets me every time 🤣 let’s go get em again. Especially with all his controversy atm . Love the channel Mark , very good!
Great review. It was a fair and well reasoned breakdown.
You have immensely increased my knowledge about how to evaluate fragrance reviews.
Still better than Mind Games who are the new PdM. But FDB is also on my blocked list.
Facts 💯mind games is trash copy and paste no creativity
@allybrklyn somebody is in the know!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

Milano and Cavort are my favorite FDB
Another honest review. Keep.it up Marc

Thank you for keeping it real.
Enjoying your honest reviews 😃

I know you don’t love list videos but a list video of office safe but interesting and complex fragrances from you would be awesome.
Some of them do smell amazing! But I agree with your thoughts
I’ve smelled a lot of this line while overseas. Parisian is probably my favorite of the lot. Bleu Oud Intense smelled like detergent to me. Something grated my nose.
oud noir and oud violet (discontinued) sound nice but never again, gonna stick to oud and musk oils from istanbul

Try Sahrra, a wonderful fragrance that is massively overpriced
Try Sahra oud from FDB
@robes08 - Mark, what is the best resource (or way) to find out a fragrance is being discontinued BEFORE it happens? I would really like to cop some discontinued decent frags (like mugler) before the price goes crazy.
I like London spice but absolutely would never ever EVER pay retail for it lol. Discounters at ~200USD is still a little steep.
Anyone tried Milano from this house?
isn’t this a clone of tom ford oud wood ?
its nice but sh1t at the same time cos of the lack of projection and sillage - way too expensive. Im sticking to oud oils from the perfumist in istanbul now
Good on you!
Just like Cannabis Intense, another dud from this house.
What oud would you recommend up to 200 USD?
Just get Versace Oud Noir and yes I am very serious.
I woke up late 😂😂😂😂😂 it’s a party in here
This is a fraudulent brand, thanks for an honest review
Don’t forget, house of Mind Games, free bottle brigade , they are copy and paste no creativity there price is way high
their pricing is outrageous for how weak they perform on me
Please make a video about debunking this maceration garbage...
Lmfaoooo even L'Oréal companies let their fragrances macerate until they're released to the public.
@paigeofstylez you said it yourself: until they are released!
@Alithia451 and they continue to macerate and mature while sitting on shelves or dressers 🤦🏿♂️
@paigeofstylez I see, we have a Gents Scents subscriber in here :D
@Alithia451 I've been in fragcomm waaay before Gent Scents 😂😂😂 gotta go back to Hiro, Drac doc and Robes08

Fragrance du Bois' Heritage is excellent 🤷♂
New Iraqi subscriber .. try out these bro : Baraonda by nassomato , vanille havane by les indemodables, a'cour desert du marocain by tauer , chergui, Fahrenheit le parfum, psychedelique by jovoy.
Welcome aboard.
He's spoken of Chergui numerous times :)
…i’m guessing he has five of them on the shelf…maybe four Lol…i really enjoy Psychedelique and have sample of Orange Star by Andy to try yet…
I don't think I could ever objectively rate them, just because I don't think I would ever willingly have their fragrance in my collection.

I found this very weak for the price
Nothing like bullying critics to scream class. Having a bunch of these free is as much of a flex to me as someone showing a free haul of albums and then claiming to be a musician. If I didnt dislike eyerolling so much, I'd roll my eyes 😅
I will never own a fragrance du bois fragrance. They're a terrible company
