Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Bois de Oud Givenchy for women

Very classy Oud with a "Parisian" vibe

This scent focuses on oud in the most perfect, simple, and most wearable way. I've had my share of testing a number of oud themed scents from YSL, Tom Ford, Bond No. 9, Thierry Mugler, and Arabic perfumed oils. All of them just didn't have the right balance I craved. Either they were too overt, or over embellished. Givenchy's offering is perfect. You smell oud, but not to the point it's overbearing. The additional notes complement, but doesn't try to take center stage. I was worried about the cedar note being domineering, as with many scents out there, and frankly, I'm sick of cedar. But they did it just right, it provides a background or a canvas, but your nose won't think cedar AND oud. It's just oud, made beautiful and airy with the help of mandarin and rose and orange blossom which gives it a powdery character at the beginning of the scent.

It was hard to seek out the olibanum throughout the scent until the drydown. It connects with the amber and vanilla at the base, which is slightly sweet and nicely resinous. Longevity is about 6 or so hours on me.

At the time of my review, bottles are still not available for sale in the US. I had to make a blind buy on eBay, with definitely no regrets. It's a perfect oud for me!

I'm glad to see oud becoming more and more popular in mainstream fragrances. It's a bold move I must admit, but an interesting one. As a consumer, I was more than intrigued, especially when Givenchy decided to experiment with this largely oriental and tricky note.

Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Bois de Oud, may not be oud in all its glory, but the note certainly does feature. It has a slight resinous and woodsy feel, however this is counteracted by a smooth, clean orange blossom heart.

I see this fragrance as oud for beginners. To the average consumer it won't strike them as being too strong, masculine or offensive. It also has some lovely floral undertones and a warm, ambery base.

This flanker doesn't have much in common with its fresh, floral predecessor at all, so I applaud Givenchy for delving into a brand new fragrance genre. As a result, Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Bois de Oud has a darker, more mysterious vibe. It's unique, and I could definitely fall in love with it for that reason alone.

Unfortunately Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Bois de Oud hasn't sold particularly well in Australia where I live, so I know that its existence will be relatively short-lived. This is a real shame seeing that it is such a pleasant and interesting scent.

I can't say that the longevity is all that great, even though it does last a few hours on the skin. I just wish that it was more well known. I'd love to read some more reviews on this flanker.

it maked me sick to core and really felt dizzling all day in sick, very strong maybe should to be for men

itried this yesterday in store but in fact ifound it soft close to skin with very soft hint of oud and ilike the compination between the vanilla and olibanum it give nice smell and at least it is different smell from all brand this year which resemble each other it stay about three hours but close to skin

I sniffed it 1 month ago and the smell haunted me. I had to get it and today I finally did.
