Oro Nero

Bois 1920 Oro Nero is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. The fragrance opens with Saffron, Clove, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Oro Nero: Acquired

This is a serious, opulent fragrance for those who like their spice rich and their woods deep. It draws obvious comparisons to Amouage Interlude Man- some call it a twin, others a distinct cousin. Regardless, it delivers a heady, luxurious experience that's polarising but undeniably high-quality.

About

Oro Nero opens with a dark, spiced citrus blast, where cloves and saffron cut through zesty orange and bergamot. As it settles, a woody heart emerges with creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and robust cedar, softened by a touch of ylang-ylang. The base unfurls into a warm embrace of smooth leather and amber, sweetened by a lingering vanilla, creating an elegant and long-lasting trail.
