Forbidden Plum Oud Extrait by Fragrance Du Bois: A Still Life After Dark

THE RICHANDLUXE JOURNAL · OCTOBER 5, 2026

A plum cut open on a porcelain plate. A white flower catching the last light. A glass of rum left beside a book. These are the images we would place around Forbidden Plum Oud Extrait by Fragrance Du Bois: a composition whose pleasure lies in the meeting of fruit, floral creaminess, spice, and woods.

For this Journal edit, we imagine it as the finishing detail for an evening with a little theatre—a silk sleeve, a low-lit room, a conversation that takes an unexpected turn.

A plum with another story to tell

Part of the house’s Oud Extrait Collection and composed by Dalia Izem, Forbidden Plum brings a fruity floral palette into a setting of warm woods. Plum accord sits beside cloves and Italian bergamot at the opening. At its heart, Indian tuberose meets whipped cream and rum accords; the base brings together oud accord, Australian sandalwood, Indonesian patchouli, and Sylkolide™.

The interesting idea here is texture. Plum suggests the gloss of fruit skin and the softness beneath it. Clove introduces a spiced accent; the floral and creamy elements give that fruit a richer setting. Read together, the notes offer a portrait with several surfaces to explore.

White petals against dark fruit

Tuberose gives the composition a floral centre. Alongside the whipped cream accord, it offers a creamy counterpoint to the plum, while the rum accord adds another shade of indulgence. We picture a still life in deep purple and ivory: generous, carefully arranged, with a small surprise at its centre.

For a fragrance wardrobe, that combination offers an intriguing direction if you enjoy fruit accompanied by white flowers and a gourmand touch. The note list is a useful starting point; wearing the fragrance lets you discover which facets catch your attention.

The wood beneath the silk

The published composition names an oud accord alongside sandalwood, patchouli, and Sylkolide™. Those base notes provide a woody and musky framework for the fruit and flowers.

Our editorial association is silk laid across polished wood: fluid softness with something more substantial beneath it. It is this pairing that makes Forbidden Plum an appealing subject for an autumn fragrance ritual.

An evening, composed your way

We would place Forbidden Plum beside a dinner reservation, a gallery opening, or an evening when dressing becomes part of the occasion. These are the settings its palette brings to mind for us, and an invitation to find your own.

Give the composition time on your skin. Notice the relationship between plum and tuberose, then return to the woody facets later. Your personal impression matters more than a prescribed description.
