Bois 1920 Centenario is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Cristian Calabrò. Centenario opens with Tiare Flower, Bergamot, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Powdery, Iris, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Jasmine. Bois 1920's Centenario carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly divisive scent, Centenario swings between a creamy, tropical dream and an old-fashioned powdery nightmare. You'll either love its unique iris-coconut combo or find it too odd to wear.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

With its moderate sillage and unique profile, Centenario suits casual and date settings, evoking a relaxed, tropical vibe. The prominent powdery and iris notes lend it a certain elegance that could work for less formal events, but it's not a go-to for the office or strenuous activities.

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.

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

Centenario opens with a burst of lush, sun-drenched tiare flower and tropical ylang-ylang, brightened slightly by bergamot. It quickly softens into a distinctive heart where creamy coconut mingles with the sophisticated, slightly lipstick-like scent of iris and a prominent powdery accord. The drydown offers a gentle warmth with soft jasmine, smooth sandalwood, and a subtle, clean musk, creating a unique, beachy-yet-elegant aura.
