"Oh: male"

A little sprayer, it's there, the cloud, and I'm driving away "Oh: male". That's all, actually.

No trace of citrus fruits - they just belong to each other for a good top note and fit to the picture "Mediterranean". It is something indefinably spicy and woody, let's call it juniper and olive tree, which is also very Mediterranean. Then lavender is still missing to locate the "Oh" in Provence. I miss him too. In the background something flowery is wafting, strangely enough it makes me think of hippie patchouli with a peaty, earthy impact. But this is more Isle of Wight or Islay - hoppla, associated in the wrong direction, quite wrong...

Conclusion: Perfume for beginners. Simple, strong and persistent, lots of fragrance for little money. Nothing for the experienced and the connoisseur. They'd find him loud and monotonous, maybe even vulgar, ordinary anyway.

Nefertiti prefers to travel to Provence herself, without Jeanne.

Lucida: The Brightest Star In A Constellation

Juniperus oxycedrus, called vernacular Cade, juniper falls, thorny juniper, thorny cedar, or sharp cedar, is a species of wild juniper. It is native to the Mediterranean region from Morocco and Portugal, from the north to the south of France, from the east to westernmost Iran, and south to Lebanon and Israel. The specific epithet oxycedrus means "sharp cedar," and this species may have been the ancient Greeks' original cedar or cedar. For generations, Provencal shepherds have handed down from father to son the secrets of Cade wood, a symbol of a tenacious character and strong tradition and generosity values. Strictly, Cade Oil is identical to Juniper Tar, got by destructive distillation of the wood from Juniperus oxycedrus. So, it is a dark, orange-brown, aromatic distillate from the bark of this wild tree and has a beautiful smokey aroma reminiscent of a summer campfire. They limit its use in perfumery to situations where a smoky-leathery, woody-phenolic, dry, and warm note is called for. Bois D’Olivier & Cade is a virile fragrance based on the totality of Juniperus oxycedrus. Juniper berries and the associated olfactory note often come from this tree. Still, the whole tree is represented here, from the berries to the coniferous needles; the oil spill from the wood itself is also described in some perfumes as "juniper" instead of juniper berries.

Bois D'Olivier & Cade is a spicy, fougére, woody fragrance with fresh and herbaceous notes, which evokes the arid woods, red earth, and hot stones found in the sunny landscape of the Garriga in the south of France. The opening is lemon zest and apple pulp, beautiful and sharp. There is instantaneously a bit of juniper sweetness in the heart popping up early, but it's not the center of attention. Well, juniper berries are famous for the flavor they give to gin and their antiseptic properties, not here. Instead, the aromatic aspect of lavender leads, rather fragrant and balsamic, made sweeter by a pinch of jasmine flowers. It's a manly start, jerky, a little tart, and a little aromatic, without being too citrusy. And then a powdery accord is there to soften the effect.

According to the official pyramid, olive wood and marine accords combine with juniper berries, and what I get here is the round warmth of the pepper notes not mentioned. The aquatic deal is not salty, similar to seaweed or shells, but more watery and smoky, as if you've poured seawater over a beach bonfire. The dirty notes of patchouli come to me vaguely, perhaps only hinted at to give structure to the heart without becoming the protagonist. And anyway, these reflex chords fold into the juniper wood, which becomes stronger and stronger.

Creamy sandalwood and a small puff of earthy vetiver come out at the end to form the finish. There is a smokiness, woodsy, piney aroma; masculine and rustic, spotless. From the beginning, I perceived a vanilla-like and burnt note, similar to that of charcoal, and I pretend there is a dose of roasted tonka.

Ultimately, it reminds me a lot of Boss' Hugo, not a clone, but something that shares a similar vibe to Boss' DNA. The octagonal-shaped bottle with orange-brown lacquered glass is emblematic of the Jeanne en Provence range for men. Usage time is medium; it lasts a long time on the skin, with a moderate sillage. I would use Bois D'Olivier & Cade in autumn or early spring, where the woody and aromatic themes seem louder on the nose and strictly in a casual sense. For the office, it is not an overbearing scent, so it does not disturb. What can I say? It is another delightful discovery to add to the autumn/winter collection.

I based the review on a 100ml bottle I have owned since November 2020.

Inexpensive all-rounder?

YES, because
P / L is hardly beatable, just 6 € is already a joke.
For me, the wearable at any time of year, but something more in the fall / spring.
Sillage is okay and durability is on my skin so around the 4-5 hours.
But for this price you can overlook the durability with pleasure, because not every perfume needs a beastmode performance, times a little is also okay!
Since one is the perfume also not too bad to track it down a few times more often :)

The flacon I personally find very appealing, beautiful minimalist design.
(with the whole Jeanne en Provence series makes it also super on the shelf :D)

About the fragrance:
Incredibly pleasant woody, sweet, masculine.
Runs first woody and becomes sweeter after 2-3 hours.
Super perfume for the office, shopping, etc.

Conclusion:
Who is looking for a cheap all-rounder, vorallem for normal everyday life, which is exactly right here.
For the price I got me equal to the whole line of Jeanne en Provence (men) Perfumes and was positively surprised by each one!

Straight sweet wood grating

From the beginning consistently sweet, warm, slightly woody with pleasing juniper. Very faintly something fruity is also perceptible. According to the information, it is apple, but I do not smell that out, it blurs too strongly with the sweetness. The course is quite linear - at the end remains mainly the airy woodiness. The overall balance is right for me, even if the sweetness can seem a bit too exuberant.
Overall, a bright, friendly, unobtrusive fragrance for the transitional periods between spring / summer and summer / autumn. Rather for young and young at heart. A good choice for perfume newcomers who want to explore the world of woody notes for the small thaler. Definitely a bright spot in the low-price segment, as this is mostly dominated by aquatic shower gel-like fresh scents.

Rampant vanilla

In reality this fragrance, if described with the notes reported on Parfumo, would be extremely misleading. It starts with citrus fruits, more bergamot than lemon, followed by a brief passage of juniper (lavender is not perceptible). In a few minutes this first phase disappears completely and you begin to perceive the wood which immediately creates an accord with the not mentioned note of vanilla, but present to the point that after an hour the cedar dominates. I would say it's more on the feminine side. In conclusion this fragrance doesn't even remotely reflect my tastes.
