About Modesty
Modesty by Borouj: A Woody Oriental Fragrance for Him and Her
Borouj has unveiled Modesty, a new woody oriental fragrance for both men and women, created by perfumer Alexandre Vire. Launching in 2026, it is notable for its warm and spicy character.
Drawing on blackcurrant, saffron and leather, Modesty plays on the contrast between freshness and depth, offering a scent that feels both modern and classic.
The opening of Modesty is lively, with a burst of blackcurrant, saffron, pepper and peach. This sparkling, gently pungent start immediately captures the attention.
In the heart, sandalwood and osmanthus (often called fragrant olive) blend with clove and rose, producing a floral woody bouquet of understated elegance.
The base is built on patchouli, leather, amber and musk, a quartet that brings warmth, sensuality and a contemporary twist. The leather is particularly prominent, giving the fragrance a modern feel.
The key accords are warm, spicy and fruity, with woody, floral and leathery shades. There is also a powdery element and a fresh spiciness that help to balance the overall effect.
The balanced composition makes it appropriate for just about any occasion, from daytime wear to evening events.
Modesty is for those who like a woody oriental without too much intensity, where spice, fruit and leather are in harmony. It will appeal to lovers of warm, elegant scents, for both women and men.
Overall, Modesty by Borouj is a compelling woody oriental, skilfully composed and versatile enough to discover across seasons and occasions.
