Fragrance du Bois Forbidden Plum Oud Extrait Review

Fragrance du Bois has built its reputation on oud, sustainably sourced, richly blended and priced for collectors rather than casual shoppers. In 2026 the house added Forbidden Plum Oud Extrait to its Oud Extract collection, a unisex extrait de parfum composed by Dalia Izem that folds a plush, fruity tuberose heart into the brand's signature woody-oud architecture. By the accounts of the people who have worn it, this is a quiet luxury rather than a loud one. That distinction matters. Forbidden Plum Oud Extrait currently holds a 4.71 out of 5 rating on Fragrantica, a strong score, though it rests on a modest 35 votes at the time of writing, so it should be read as an early signal rather than a settled consensus. Reviewers consistently praise its longevity while disagreeing about how far it travels from the skin. Some describe a sensual, close-wearing scent; others note that sillage is soft and that the fragrance performs better on clothing than on skin. This review breaks down what is actually in the bottle: the notes, the accords, how the scent evolves, how it performs and who it is likely to suit. Where the data is thin, most notably on pricing, we say so rather than guess.
