Givenchy Bois Martial is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Françoise Caron. Bois Martial opens with Pineapple, settles into a heart of Coconut, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Givenchy's Bois Martial carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Bois Martial is the scent of a classy, understated holiday, all dry cedar and subtle fruit. Just don't go expecting a tropical paradise; the 'pineapple' and 'coconut' are more wood than fruit here, and its fleeting performance has left many underwhelmed.

Its mild, intimate sillage and clean woody profile make it a solid choice for the office, where discretion is key. The poor longevity and generally low impact mean it's less suited for bold statements, though it could work for a quiet evening or a relaxed casual setting.

About

Bois Martial opens with a delicate, almost leafy pineapple, quickly giving way to a dominant, dry cedar. Hints of coconut wood add to the woody backbone, creating a serene and composed aroma. It's a clean, sophisticated woody scent with a subtle fruity undertone that's far from a typical tropical cocktail.
