Franck Boclet Ashes is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016. Ashes opens with Clove and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Amber, and Incense. Franck Boclet's Ashes carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper Gothic romance in a bottle, all dark woods and ancient incense. It's a statement scent, bold and unapologetic, but don't expect it to charm everyone - it's definitely a 'love it or leave it' affair that commands attention.

About

Ashes opens with a potent, medicinal kick of wormwood and sharp clove, quickly settling into a deep, earthy heart of patchouli and various cedars. The base is where the real magic happens, with thick, swirling incense creating a smoky, resinous aura softened by warm amber and a touch of clean musk. It’s an immersive, woody journey from start to finish.
