Bois 1920 Rosa 23 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Chris Maurice. Bois 1920's Rosa 23 carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Rosa 23 is a sweet, rosy sandalwood with dried fruit and caramel in the mix. It reads as rich and gourmand rather than airy. A good fit if you want a floral that leans warm and dessert-like.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Moss

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

No top, heart and base split is given here, only a single list of notes: sandalwood, rose, date, liquor, dried fruits, ylang-ylang, cedar, caramel, moss and jasmine. The rose and sandalwood form the core, while date, dried fruits, liquor and caramel push it towards a sweet, boozy gourmand side. Ylang-ylang and jasmine add creamy flowers, and cedar and moss give some woody, earthy depth.
