How? I Apply the Fragrance
3 to 5 Sprays
I have sampled two from this company and second time I have to sit back and enjoy. This is almost extrait level very powerful from the spray.
Fragrance in my opinion compared to Perfumes Notes I don’t know where the lemon is if it is there to boost the coconut or not there but can’t detect it. That is rare that is one of the most common notes for me to pick out.
This is a heavy perfume backed by a great coconut note. Using coconut as a note different from Thai companies or Beach companies. This is the most elegant I have ever smelled coconut. Dressed to the nines and just showing off.
The heart has a peppered violet, the violet brings in a crisp sweetness metallic in tones. With just a soft touch of fresh black pepper. Right after this the sillage of vanilla floods in. a caramel tone and very familiar Vanilla note.
Not many more changes. The sandalwood is soft man if mysore was in here it would send this over the top it is called a santal. Other than that you get a gourmand vanilla staying on your skin for three hours.
Six hour wearing for me.

Hey Duder! Holy poop that's expensive! Lol!
Sounds super duper nice though. Thank you for telling us about this one. 😀
Thanks Daniel San!
I hate that question: What type of perfumes do you like?
Why do I have to work to list everything I like? If you have something good, try to sell it to me. I don’t want to explain what I like or list what I like. I like anything (dark, light, sheer, dense) if it smells good to me. Maybe I’ll just say that next time: I like anything if it smells good ????
Thanks for this. I will try out your response next time. LOL
This sounds like a good one. There’s not enough good sandal focused fragrances out there.
Agreed. Imagine Ensar taking a shot at a pure sandal perfume? He has access to a lot of good oils in the tool box.
Thanks for the review. Guess I'll try this one. You should try Sahraa Oud if you haven't already, it is superb.
Will do. There oud variations a lot of people have been recommending. One of the few houses I haven't as of yet. Cheers.
You and Demi have convinced me
Thanks for letting me know. It's a pleasing scent worthy to own what you can.
I just came from Demi review too lol I am looking to buy it but nobody ships to U.S 🙁 and so expensive
Hopefully Lucky Scent restocks. Have you checked Osswalds? Don't know if they have it locally.
@II Lydia II You can get it at Luckyscent.com. It's an LA based niche perfume site.
Nice review
Thanks for commenting.
I just ordered a sample of this. Can't wait!
Btw, the name Du Bois is French and pronounced like "doo bwah". Thanks for the complex review!
I really appreciate the pronunciation. I really wish I would've taken French, maybe it's not too late.????. If you like the note of Sandalwood I'm sure you will love your sample please share either way when you get it.
@Therapeutic Fragrance I do like sandalwood, as long as its balanced. I also ordered samples of Tom Ford F.Fabulous, Lost Cherry and By Kilian Back to Black and Shiseido Zen . So even though I'm female, you can tell I favor unisex fragrances.
I really enjoy shishado zen so much! It’s a happy purfume that makes you want more. Let us know if you enjoy it.
Have you tried Oud Jaune Intense? I have that as well as the Santal Complet. I can now get rid of half of my collection now that I have found this house.
I have not tried Oud Jaune. Looks nice, but samples aren't available I will keep an eye out. It's a great house, but there are lot's of others really putting out high quality stuff. Feel free to post where you are selling your stuff in comments if you want.
In France you can get it for 160 eur for 50ml
That's quite the difference. Thanks for putting that up here.
My heart went to another place after smelling this.
I put on earlier today. It is one of those that is truly a unique composition. The quality come through.
I got a sample and I agree with you this is a great scent… but do you really get a good longevity and projection with this one ? On my skin it stays really close to the skin and after 2 ours it is gone 🙁
I am really picky o er longevity, while the super creamy top lasts 3 to 4 hours depending on how hot it is. The complete wearing is at least six hours won't say it's a huge projector but it's there on me. Ask others if they can smell it on you I know some fragrances are gone to my nose but my wife says I smell like a perfume shop. She doesn't really care for fragrances.
One of the few fragrances that really impressed me the moment I sprayed a sample. I quickly ordered a bottle.
It's weird how pleasing it is. I actually went with the 100 ml.
The presentation is one of the absolute best on the market.
Santal Complet is too "perfumy" for my taste
Totally get that sadly after a year I have not worn it that much as I am loaded with great sandalwood.
this fragrance unisex?
Yes this is down the line.
