Celine Bois Dormant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Bois Dormant opens with Bergamot and Juniper, settles into a heart of Iris, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vetiver. Celine's Bois Dormant carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A subtle, elegant iris-wood creation that's been polarising for its whispered projection and an unexpected cumin note that some adore, and others detest. If you're after a bold statement, look elsewhere.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Bois Dormant opens with a fresh, slightly crisp burst of bergamot and juniper, quickly softening into the powdery, buttery embrace of iris. This heart note, a Celine signature, is beautifully smooth, gently unfolding into a comforting base of clean cedar and earthy vetiver. The overall impression is one of understated luxury and quiet refinement, a soft-focus interpretation of classic woody-iris themes.
