Fragrance Du Bois Solstis is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Shadi Samra. Solstis opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Apple, settles into a heart of Neroli, Pepper, Cardamom, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Fragrance Du Bois's Solstis carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a real head-scratcher. Solstis has a glorious, fresh, spicy opening that everyone raves about, but then it quickly fades into a 'nice, but generic' clean scent with questionable longevity for the price. Prepare for disappointment unless you're bathing in it.

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:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, clean character makes it suitable for casual wear and even office settings, particularly given its moderate sillage. While it could work for a relaxed date, its lack of strong projection and longevity makes it less ideal for formal events where a more impactful scent is desired.

About

Solstis opens with a vibrant, zesty blast of bergamot and mandarin, brightened by crisp apple and a playful crackle of pink pepper. As it settles, warm spices like nutmeg and cardamom emerge, gently blending with creamy neroli. The dry down is a smooth, understated fusion of earthy vetiver, rich sandalwood, and a soft, comforting vanilla, creating a clean yet subtly sensual aura.
