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.

About

Bois Impérial opens with an invigorating, almost fizzy burst of basil and timur pepper, delivering a fresh, green, and subtly spicy kick. As it settles, the fragrance deepens into a sophisticated woody core driven by Akigalawood, vetiver, and patchouli, creating a smooth, clean, and airy sensation. Ambroxan provides a persistent, modern, and expansive warmth that lingers for hours, giving it a high-tech natural feel.
