Byredo Bois Obscur Extrait de Parfum - N06442-01

An Extrait de Parfum, or perfume extract, is the most concentrated form of fragrance, typically containing 15-40% aromatic compounds. This results in a richer, more intense scent with superior longevity.

As an Extrait de Parfum, Byredo Bois Obscur is designed for significant longevity, often lasting 8-12 hours or more on the skin, depending on individual body chemistry and environmental factors.

The opening features saffron and eucalyptus. The heart includes tuberose, jasmine, and an oud accord. The base is composed of patchouli, labdanum, mineral amber, and sandalwood.

While versatile, the deep and complex nature of Bois Obscur, especially its oud and woody accords, makes it particularly well-suited for evening or cooler weather. Its intensity is best appreciated when not competing with strong ambient scents or heat.

While formulated for personal wear, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread application, especially if you have known fragrance sensitivities.

The bottle features an elongated shape, a thick glass base, and a vintage-style gilded cap. The packaging is designed to be reusable, serving as a jewel box to emphasize the ritual of wearing perfume.

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the cap tightly closed to preserve the fragrance quality.

Ensure application on moisturized skin. Reapply sparingly if needed, focusing on pulse points. The scent may also take time to develop fully on the skin.

Perfume extracts have high longevity. Ensure the environment is not extremely dry or hot, which can affect diffusion. Consider applying to clothing (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Discontinue use immediately. Cleanse the applied area with soap and water. Consult the ingredient list if you have known sensitivities.
