Bois Obscur
Extrait de parfum
Oud and tuberose in the shadows, between eucalyptus, saffron and patchouli.
Bois Obscur belongs to Night Veils, the range of extraits de parfum that Byredo relaunched ten years after its creation. The house does not publish its family; Volute classes it among woody scents.
Eucalyptus, papyrus and saffron open on a fresh, dry note. Jasmine, oud and tuberose form a dark, heady heart. Cistus labdanum, patchouli, sandalwood and a mineral amber make up the base.

Bois Obscur in detail
Byredo, the house founded in Stockholm by Ben Gorham, relaunched Night Veils, its range of extraits de parfum, ten years after its creation. Bois Obscur explores a dark, floral woody scent there; the house does not publish its family, and Volute classes it among woody fragrances.
The official pyramid opens with fresh, camphor-like eucalyptus, dry papyrus and spicy saffron. The heart gathers jasmine absolute, woody, animalic oud and heady tuberose absolute. The base pairs cistus labdanum, patchouli, sandalwood and a mineral amber, rendered as amber.
Bois Obscur is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter. As an extrait de parfum, it unfolds slowly on the skin; it will appeal to lovers of floral ouds.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share many of its materials: Oud Noir Intense by Fragrance Du Bois brings together jasmine, sandalwood, saffron, patchouli, amber and oud; Interlude Man by Amouage pairs amber, cistus labdanum, oud, patchouli and sandalwood; Epic Man, also by Amouage, combines saffron, oud, sandalwood and patchouli.
