About Fragrance Du Bois Secret Tryst EDP
Secret Tryst EDP comes from Fragrance Du Bois. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber and Natura Ekos Alma spread further.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is warm spicy (100%), followed by woody and amber. You will probably like it if you enjoy warm spicy and woody smells and notes like rose and incense. Less obvious notes include bergamot, cedar and patchouli. Perfume fans rate it 4.09 out of 5.
Other Fragrance Du Bois perfumes
The house has 42 perfumes here, led by Oud Bleu Intense, Oud Orange Intense and Santal Complet.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €398. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Tom Ford Black Orchid but less than Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber.
Secret Tryst longevity
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber and Natura Ekos Alma. Base notes like incense and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
When in the day to wear Secret Tryst
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
