Lovers Fragrance Du Bois for women and men

DON'T listen to the nay-sayers. I personally LOVE it and I've gotten so many compliments! I have smelled both Cavort and Secret Tryst and I decided to go with this one because of its fruity and rosy notes. I did not find any of the notes synthetic and loved the woodiness. As for the claims that you can "get it at Bath and Body works for 19.99," whoever said this is lyingg. I put this perfume on at 9 in the morning and I was complimented on it at 4 pm -- Long lasting and strong

I didn’t really care for this perfume. It starts out rather intense with an almost gasoline Oud smell, followed by patchouli and saffron. Then the fruits come in. This fruity phase is nice when I directly smell where I placed the sample, but in the air I still get too much patchouli and saffron. I couldn’t really smell the soapy rose that others spoke about. This perfume doesn’t feel cohesive, like it’s going in too many directions. If this perfume is about Lovers I imagine a toxic relationship where one is overwhelming and has power over the other one, who is sweet, quiet, and easily overtaken. Not what I want in a perfume or in a relationship.

“Your chest is enough for my heart,
my wings are enough for your freedom.
From my mouth it will reach the sky,
what was asleep on your soul.”
The passion, at the beginnig, overwhelming one between two lovers. The one that remains in the soul and on the skin, that memory that can be translated into an olfactory symphony.
Lovers is a strong fragrance, which opens fruity and sparkling and is then overwhelmed by intense, ripe floral scents and saffron, which, at least on my skin, dominates the entire evolution.
An opulent, important creation that does not go unnoticed, not my thing but, like all Fragrance du Bois, excellent.

Quite possibly the most overpriced fragrance on the entire market. Literally smells like something you could get at Bath and Body works for 19.99.

I did not like this fragrance at all. To me it was a very synthetic, screechy experience. I did not get any florals or fruits or woody nuances. All I got was a synthetic mess that I had to wash off. A hard pass for me.

This was love at first sniff for me and the more it dried down, the better. I personally like the way the fruity/floral notes balances with the woody notes. I do catch a whiff of the erba pura comparisons as time passes but it’s not an exact duplicate. I’ve had it on for about 7 hours and can still smell it which I LOVE.

Wasn't a fan. It's kind of screechy in my opinion and not super well blended. Weirdly in the beginning stages it reminded me of Donna Valentino in some ways. Felt somewhat powdery/makeup smelling.
Drydown is cashmere and sandalwood are mostly prominent on my skin with a little saffron, ginger, passion fruit in the background. Kind of bummed since the notes looked so good. Longevity isn't there, two sprays on my wrist and it's gone within an hour.

A good & delicate rosy-spicy-woody scent that's slightly drier than Cavort (but otherwise similar). It has little in common with the sweet fruity musky bombs of Xerjoff & TT.

A previous review mentioned that this smells like a mix between Xerjoff's Erba Pura and Cavort also from FDB and I totally agree. I have Cavort in my collection and because of the similarities I don’t think that you would need both. Personally I prefer Cavort - to me it’s more rounded and smooth. Lovers has a more fruity profile though the DNA is very similar to Cavort. The ginger note gives it a sharpness in the opening that comes off as a bit synthetic on my skin, though it does settle down after a short while.
Unisex leaning feminine imo.

Received my order today, I have to say that I am glad I also ordered a tester to try before opening the full bottle. I was expecting so much more from this fragrance. Thank god I can return it.

Heavy jammy rose, very peppery and woody, the passionfruit I can smell but I wish it was more fruitier and closer to kajal lamar or kajal dahab. Kinda expected this one to smell more like Dahab or lamar by kajal. But I wouldn't say it smells anything like kirke, erba pura, erba gold, amber oud gold, lamar or dahab. Completely different this is mainly a rose & pepper fragrance and the fruits come last after the rose, pepper and wood.

Can this brand survive their pricing? Haven't tried it yet but 3.34 is not a good sign to me. 4.34 would be blind buy material but not at that price. Price is part of marketing and I guess FDB stays in that price niche unfortunately.

When I sprayed this on my skin, it instantly reminded me of something. I rushed to my perfume cabinet, but couldn't find an exact dupe. However, I do agree that it bears some similarity to rose woodiness of Scherzo, but it leans more towards fruity scents like Accento overdose, some Lorenzo Pazzaglia, some Terenzi creations, Simone Andreoli perhaps. I don't need any more scents from the same olfactory group, so it's a pass for me.

I really like this, but there are so many dark fruity rose scents with saffron or oud or patchouli out there that this does not have to be the One. My personal fave is Miller Harris Scherzo. Lovers has a lot more saffron by comparison, which is a tough note for me, so I’m cool with my sample

Ya sure, this will be a 'Limited Edition' until it sells out. Then suddenly it will come back and be part of their regular stock, just like they did with Minuit Et Demi. Don't be fooled by their marketing tactics. It's a waste of your money.

Gives similar vibes like Xerjoff erba pura or T.T. kirke but much much weaker. Extremly overpriced like majority of their fragrances. Top 3 most overrated brands on the market

I decided to order this fragrance, not because of the reviews but rather the notes. To be on the safe side, I also ordered a tester. After I try the tester if I am nor pleased I will return the full unopened bottle. This will be my 2nd purchase from this house. The first one was a fail, let's see what this second purchase has to offer. Fingers crossed1

It is very funny to read the love between Shawn330 and Diviness in the reviews. I only come here just to laugh at how Shawn330 always goes after Diviness.

If gaslighting could be a perfume, it would be this one. Don't fall for the hype. This one DEFINITELY needs to be sampled first!

All I smell is some woody aroma chemical. For those like me who are sensitive to these types of fragrances, please test first.

All that PR product & the YT/IG reviews in my feed had me thinking this must be the best thing since sliced bread - what a red flag that actually was.

Lovers opens with a screechy saffron that clearly smells synthetic - I'm already annoyed before we even get to the core scent itself. Fragrance du Bois' signature rose (soapy rose that they have in many of their scents) flanks the saffron. But get this - the top notes become more apparent as the scent dries and they offer accord resemblance to the profile of Erba Pura & Kirke. So you basically have diet BR540 EDP + Erba Pura / Kirke + soapy rose.

This is the ultimate synthetic mixing pot of scent profiles, and is structured like a Tiziana Terenzi fragrance. Comments talking about "masterful blend" are literally mind-blowing since there are so many things going wrong here. Longevity is very much meh, say 8-9 hours. Sillage is mostly moderate, but will be strong for the initial hour or so. Unisex. I'll be honest and give it an "Okay" 6/10. But this has not earned even an ounce of the hype it is getting online.

I Adore this perfume .
It’s so sexy , animatic ravishing , sophisticated and unique , you just can’t help it .
It’s like a seductress that’s steals your heart , mind and soul for eternal ecstasy .
Absolutely unisex .
Outstanding longevity and silage .
I mark it 10/10 .

Hard not to like. I agree with with @nativelocal below. It shares similarities with Erba pura’s fruity musk, but also has a bit more jus. The fruitiness has more character and identifiable fruit than EP and I experience a nice passionfruit up top. There is also more class and body in the mid, and this may be the saffron note. Great projection and a a safe crowd pleasing unisex buy (if you have the cash and don’t mind wearing a bold fragrance).

I got my bottle of Lovers yesterday. One spray on my arm as a tester as soon as I unpacked it - and today I can still smell it. It’s powerful indeed.

Heady Oud is prominent to my nose. It’s sadly not a note I like so it seems to dominate. Having said that I’m going to take the time to wear it over the next week. If you like Oud this is certainly a winner.

It is really well made and luxurious. I would say this is pretty complex and probably takes a number of wearings to really get into it but then I am biased given the Oud note.

The packaging is divine. I love this house and have a few of their perfumes.

First of all BearLee I think that lady fancies you :) .. it’s an expensive bottle to abandon and pass on like that.
Now on to the frag, I am lost for words. Pure gem, pure beauty, put class. Opening kinda reminds me of ADP Colonia intensia oud, but when FDB dries down it drifts on to something even more special - in fact that’s where the real sauce is. The smell hangs in the air in the same manner that roja Oceania and Roja Apex does… you almost can taste it if you open your mouth too much.

Yes I can see why this would be deemed unisex but I see it being rocked better by the blokes.

When you wear it, it sticks on you and it kinda makes you feel like you’re “on top” - there’s this this palpable affluent and confident vibe it gives.
11/10!

im a psychiatric social worker at a hospital in an inpatient psych setting. i work closely with a group of psychiatrist, one of which we bond over fragrance. She blind bought this and was excited for it to come. She got it and immediately hated it because there is a note that she cant stand, but doesnt know what it is. She gave it to me to try(she gives me lots of samples of things that seem too manly for her and they are unisex) and i loved it immediately. She told me to enjoy because it would have been a hassle to return. This is a 300.00 dollar bottle of parfum and i am forever grateful.

This is just a beautiful scent all the way around .That first opening and burst of fruit is amazing. Once it get to that rose layer i fall even more in love. This scent is perfect for summer evenings out in a nice outfit and shoes.

LOVERS starts off with a lush burst of fruit coctail, bergamot, ginger then it evokes tropical hint with passion fruit while plum starts to emerge. The opening is really succulent, thick and mellow. It has right amount of freshness and sweetness. To some extent it reminds of a really juicy bubblegum.
What happens next is what LOVERS in my opinion is all about. That beautiful saffron. Its intoxicating and seductive. It envelopes an aurora around you thats a bit leathery, a bit medicinal and metallic in the beginning. Its softened by gentle rose and Jasmine even though the floral facets are subtle.
Fragrance Du Bois' surely know how to make their saffron note feel so natural and seductive whether it be Sahraa or Cavort.
In the drydown I mostly get the collision between woody notes, cashmere and sandalwood in which sandalwood prevails making it silky smooth fragrance.
Fragrance Du Bois have hit the right spot with LOVERS, I feel this is much better than other offerings such as Cavort and Secret Tryst. You get a well crafted complex creation. Its perfectly unisex, seductive and all season fragrance with good performances.
To my nose, I get a bit of Oud Orange Intense.

Hello everyone. I received Lovers in PR yesterday, and it’s a love at first sniff. My first impressions are it’s a beautiful citrus + saffron floral, I love this one so much. It’s not tooth achingly sweet, it’s the sweetness you’d get with a citrus fruit. It’s bright, it’s sexy to me as well. I’m still testing this out, but so far longevity and projection are beautiful (I have very dry skin so longevity is often a problem for me). I will be doing a more thorough review on my Instagram and TikTok. Follow me on there @scentsational_nyc for IG and @scentsationalnyc on TikTok. My husband feels it’s not unisex to him, and more feminine leaning but that he really loves how it smells on me. Do with that what you will.

I just sprayed my decant and on first sniff, Lovers smells as if Xerjoff's Erba Pura and the saffron from Fragrance du Bois' Cavort had a baby. So basically Erba Pura, but you've softened the citrus and swapped the musk out for a heavy helping of saffron instead. I must say that there's something about saffron that smells quite elegant and put together to my nose. So this scent really does evoke those feelings for me. I can't speak to the performance, just the scent as I've only just sprayed it on my wrist a few minutes ago. But it's quite a sophisticated scent that I think is a pretty easy love if you enjoy the concept of Erba Pura and also enjoy saffron.

@Aidafares, I just checked this fragrance is for sale on their website. I will wait and get a decant first as 300 Euros is pretty steep

Its sold out yet no one made a review yet !!?? Even those who get it for free no one made a review?!

I love Cavort from this collection, so the notes and bottle alone makes this blind buy worthy for me. Can’t wait to smell this!
