Anatole Lebreton Bois Lumière is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Anatole Lebreton. Bois Lumière opens with Mandarin, Juniper, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Rose, Carnation, Honey, and Fir Resin, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Cedar, Beeswax, and Benzoin. Anatole Lebreton's Bois Lumière carries an Acquired verdict, a honey-led wear.

Bois Lumière is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect raw, challenging honey and a potent honey-immortelle blend that some find intoxicatingly unique, while others describe it as unwearable, pissy, or just 'too much'. Definitely try before you buy.

This perfume's strong, animalic honey and woody accords make it too potent for an office setting. Its unique and sensual profile, however, makes it highly suitable for dates and eveningwear, offering a distinctive presence that commands attention.

About

Bois Lumière opens with a potent, almost visceral blast of golden, sticky honey, immediately deepened by the distinctly sweet-hay-like and slightly spicy facets of immortelle. As it progresses, a rich beeswax note emerges, mingling with aromatic clary sage, spicy carnation, and a warm, dry woodiness from cedar and fir resin. A hint of mandarin provides a fleeting brightness before settling into a complex, resinous, and deeply warm drydown.
