Bois 1920 Elite IV is a Parfum launched in 2020. Elite IV opens with Sandalwood, Iris, Honey, and Tobacco, settles into a heart of Rose, Incense, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Amber. Bois 1920's Elite IV carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a smooth operator, a polite amber-iris that's nice enough, but ultimately leaves more seasoned sniffers wanting a bit more punch. It's a crowd-pleaser for those new to amber, but might feel a tad superficial for a true connoisseur.

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 autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its discreet beauty and well-behaved nature make it suitable for office and formal settings where a strong sillage isn't desired. It's also a great choice for date nights due to its warm, inviting character, but less suited for casual or sporty activities given its refined style.

About

Elite IV opens with a luxurious blend of powdery iris and warm, sweet honey, quickly joined by the smooth, woody depth of sandalwood and a hint of dry tobacco. As it settles, a sweet, hay-like incense emerges, softened by a delicate rose, all resting on a comforting, resinous amber base. It’s an inviting, enveloping scent that balances sweetness with an understated earthiness.
