Parana

Bois 1920 Parana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. The fragrance opens with Blackcurrant, Birch, Galbanum, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Neroli, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk.

Our verdict on Parana: Favourite

This one's a solid, smoky, birch-heavy take on that iconic Aventus DNA. It's got the virility and quality but carves out its own path with a darker, more serious edge. A top-tier alternative if you're over the original's sweetness and performance woes.

About

Opens with a punchy blend of blackcurrant and bright bergamot, quickly joined by a dominant, smoky birch and leathery galbanum. The heart introduces a subtle floral softness with rose and jasmine, which soon gives way to an earthy, mossy base of vetiver and patchouli, underpinned by a warm, woody amber and clean musk. It's a complex, evolving scent that balances freshness with deep, resonant woods.
