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.

Its elegant and refined profile makes it ideal for formal events and dates, lending a luxurious touch without being overpowering.

About

Bois des Iles opens with a dazzling, fizzy burst of aldehydes and juicy peach, instantly evoking a sense of golden-era glamour. This gives way to a lush, powdery heart of iris and ylang-ylang, softened by delicate florals. The real magic unfolds in the dry down: a sumptuously creamy, almost gourmand sandalwood, blended with warm amber, sweet vanilla, and subtle spices, creating an incredibly comforting and sophisticated aura.
