A friendly oud with a pleasant hazelnut/praline nuance.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the kind of scent that works in close quarters, where its warm oud and praline facets can unfold without shouting. It suits an intimate, composed setting in the evening, projecting a polished, slightly decadent presence that feels inviting rather than imposing.
How to wear
Best in cooler weather, where its woody-gourmand structure can bloom without turning dense. Apply lightly at first: one to three sprays is usually enough, since the oud, vanilla and musk create a persistent trail. On skin it reads smooth and creamy; in air it feels warmer, smokier and more enveloping.
Who it’s for
For those who like oud softened by sweetness, texture and a touch of gourmand comfort. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy woody-oriental fragrances with a refined, approachable edge rather than austere or medicinal oud.
Release year
2012
The nose
Gian Luca Perris is the creative director and perfumer behind Bois d'Oud, shaping the fragrance with the house’s emphasis on raw materials and refined composition. His work for Perris Monte Carlo reflects a modern niche style: ingredient-led, globally sourced, and built to balance character with wearability. As the second-generation force behind the brand, he approaches perfumery as craft rather than trend, often drawing on traditional materials and classical structures while giving them a cleaner, more contemporary finish. Bois d'Oud fits that approach well, softening oud with gourmand warmth and a polished woody frame.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo is a craftsmanship-driven house rooted in family heritage, natural materials, and the idea that true luxury comes from sourcing and composition rather than excess. Its fragrances often reinterpret classic perfumery traditions through a modern lens, with a strong focus on authenticity and ingredient quality.
Bois d'Oud’s concept
Bois d'Oud launched in 2012 as part of Perris Monte Carlo’s Gold Collection, the brand’s first fragrance line and a tribute to Middle Eastern perfumery traditions. The concept draws on oud’s journey along caravan routes from India to Arabia, translating that heritage into a contemporary oriental woody scent with saffron, vanilla, musk and a smoother, more approachable character.
Extra info
Bois d'Oud was introduced as part of Perris Monte Carlo’s debut Gold Collection. The fragrance is often described as a friendlier take on oud, with a praline or hazelnut-like nuance that sets it apart from more severe interpretations. It is an Eau de Parfum and is widely treated as a unisex scent.
