About This Perfume
Bon Parfumeur 903 Oud Ilam smells like Spiced oud incense with earthy patchouli. It opens with coriander seed, Nepalese sichuan pepper and saffron, moves into Indonesian patchouli and iris and settles on Oud, sandalwood and Tonkin musk. It reads unisex.
It is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2024.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $220.
