Bois Sacre
Fragrance notes
Character
Bois Sacre opens with myrrh and honey placed beside bright citruses and earthy patchouli. The honey gives immediate weight, while the citrus keeps the entrance from feeling heavy. Patchouli grounds the start with a dark, resinous edge that prepares the composition for what follows.
Iris and cypress take over, joined by bergamot and wild berries. The iris brings a soft, powdery texture that sits against the green sharpness of cypress. Bergamot lifts the heart slightly, and the berries add a small, tart sweetness that never dominates. Moroccan cedar, cacao, and tobacco form the base, where the cedar provides dry wood, the cacao adds a bitter chocolate depth, and the tobacco carries a warm, slightly dry smoke.
The amber and balsamic tones make it a good choice for cool air and low light, when a warm spicy scent feels natural against a coat or a scarf. Someone who enjoys powdery iris layered over woody tobacco and does not mind a pronounced honey presence will find it comfortable. It works best when the weather calls for something aromatic and sweet rather than fresh and clean.
