Commodity Bois is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Frank Voelkl. Bois opens with Angelica, Chili, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orchid, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Commodity's Bois carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Bois is a lovely, quiet woody-floral that's perfect for everyday wear, but prepare for it to disappear faster than your weekend plans. A gorgeous scent, if you can forgive the truly underwhelming performance.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and soft sillage make it ideal for the office and casual wear, where it won't overpower. However, the poor performance means it struggles to make an impact for dates or formal events, and it's not designed for active use.

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.

About

Bois opens with a gentle warmth of pink pepper and a hint of green angelica, creating an inviting, slightly spicy introduction. The heart unfolds into a soft floral bouquet of jasmine, orchid, and freesia, preventing the woody notes from becoming too austere. It gracefully dries down to a creamy blend of cedar and sandalwood, cushioned by a subtle, comforting vanilla. It's a modern interpretation of woods, keeping things elegant and understated.
