Which Should You Buy?
A masterclass in modern woody perfumery - radiant, green, and assertive, yet never cloying. Bois Impérial is a confident, versatile statement for those who crave freshness with real depth and texture.
A meditative pepper-and-frankincense scent with rose softness and cedar depth. Calm, incense-adjacent, and quietly grown-up - the kind of understated wear that fits the office just as easily as a slow evening at home.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Dominant green, spicy and woody notes shine in spring and fall, while the aromatic freshness keeps it lively for summer evenings. Its moderate warmth and opulence suit milder winter days but may not cut through harsh cold.
Occasions
Balanced projection and sophisticated woods make it ideal for office, date, and smart-casual settings. Its bold character is versatile but too refined for sport or intense activity.
Seasons
Pepper and frankincense sit at the fresh-spicy crossroads that reads best in spring and fall; the cedar base gives it just enough body for cooler evenings. Lacks the weight for deep winter and the brightness for high summer.
Occasions
Intimate sillage and a calm, incense-adjacent character make it a natural office and casual pick. Not projection-heavy enough for formal evenings or sport.
