Atelier Des Ors Bois Sikar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Marie Salamagne. Bois Sikar opens with Woody Notes and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cedar Leaf, Guaiac Wood, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Tobacco. Atelier Des Ors's Bois Sikar carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Bois Sikar is a divisive beast; you'll either adore its unapologetic smoky depths or recoil from its 'BBQ pit' opening. It's a bold statement, not a safe blind buy, but for those who brave it, an unforgettable experience awaits.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its intense, long-lasting smoky profile is too much for an office but perfect for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement. The 'campfire' vibe also makes it suitable for specific casual situations, particularly in cold weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bois Sikar opens with a powerful, almost challenging blast of smoky woods, reminiscent of a crackling bonfire or a fine Islay whisky. This initially potent haze gradually mellows, revealing a rich, honeyed tobacco heart intertwined with the dry, resinous warmth of guaiac wood and styrax. As it settles, vetiver adds an earthy, refined backbone, leaving a sophisticated, ambered smokiness that lingers for hours.
