Bois Impérial

Bois Impérial presents a transparent, airy woodiness that feels both futuristic and grounded. It opens with a crisp, green blast of basil and Szechuan pepper, balancing sharpness with a slightly sweet, effervescent undercurrent that recalls spritzed laundry or freshly cut herbs. The fragrance settles into a clean, subtly spicy woody base where Akigalawood, vetiver, and ambroxan coalesce seamlessly. The impression is one of persistent freshness—linear but not monotonous—where the sillage lingers strongly, and the longevity is exceptional, lasting well beyond 12 hours on skin and days on clothing. Despite not being a singularly surreal or revolutionary scent, its performance and refined simplicity make it uniquely accessible, with many finding it a befitting signature or office-safe fragrance. While comparisons to Ganymede and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver are frequent, the consensus is that it stands alone—lighter, cleaner, and more universally wearable. Its synthetic character is not off-putting to most, but those sensitive to ambiguous molecular accords may find it overwhelming.
