The review

On paper, Bois Noir is a reasonable bet if you want Ébène Fumé for less.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ébène Fumé's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on black pepper, olibanum and laurel, turns to ebony, oud and benzoin, and settles into incense, sandalwood and patchouli. That is the brief Bois Noir is working from.

Top

  • black pepper
  • olibanum
  • laurel

Heart

  • ebony
  • oud
  • benzoin

Base

  • incense
  • sandalwood
  • patchouli
Dry ebony and incense laced with pepper and resins; smoky, sophisticated and understatedly luxe.
