Fragrance notes
Character
A man walks into a wood-paneled study with a heavy wool coat still damp from the air outside. The room smells of old paper and polished wood. Bois by Reghen's Masters Perfumers fits that space perfectly. The opening brings cypress and juniper berries forward, sharp and green against the skin. Tuscan iris adds a powdery softness that keeps the start from feeling too harsh. Myrrh and resins sit in the heart, thick and balsamic. Patchouli adds a dark, earthy weight that grounds the entire composition.
The base is a complex mix of leather, honey, and vanilla. Ambergris and musk give it an animalic edge that some will find too heavy for daily wear. The sweetness here is deep and sticky rather than light. It is a bold choice for someone who enjoys a scent that feels dense and traditional. The powdery iris note clashes slightly with the dirty leather, creating a tension that never quite settles. This friction between the clean floral facet and the heavy resins is the one aspect that keeps it from feeling completely cohesive.
