Bois d'Argent is a soft, powdery woody gourmand fragrance centered around iris, myrrh, honeyed amber, and musk. It opens with a delicate, slightly sweet floral iris note, soon giving way to a smooth, warm core of myrrh and resinous woodiness, accented with hints of sweet honey, powdered vanilla, and a faint green patchouli. The dry-down is soft, intimate, and skin-like, with a creamy musk that feels like a second skin. The scent is linear and almost imperceptible at first, often requiring a close sniff to detect, but once it settles, it lingers on the skin and in the air for up to 12 hours, leaving a subtle warm trail. It is unisex in character, with a quiet elegance that feels both sophisticated and deeply personal. While the sillage is faint and projection is intimate, it is deeply evocative and emotionally resonant, often described as drifts of perfume that seem to come and go like whispers. The perfume performs best on clothing, where it can last for days, and responds well to body heat, developing a richer warmth over time.
