The review
On paper, Zest of Bois Oudh is a strong bet if you want Oud Wood for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud Wood's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $60 it costs 80% less than Oud Wood.
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 rosewood, cardamom and pepper, turns to oud, sandalwood and vetiver, and settles into tonka, vanilla and amber. That is the brief Zest of Bois Oudh is working from.
Top
- rosewood
- cardamom
- pepper
Heart
- oud
- sandalwood
- vetiver
Base
- tonka
- vanilla
- amber
For your first oud, and your last. Rosewood and cardamom soften smoky agarwood and vanilla — refined, creamy, effortlessly upscale.
