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 Fall Winter

The warm spicy woods, creamy sandalwood, and powdery iris make this ideal for cooler fall and winter days, but its smoothness and subtle floral freshness allow for spring wear as well. It can be a bit much for hot summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Polished woods and soft spice make this a versatile choice for dates and casual evenings, while its moderate projection and refined iris keep it appropriate for office and even some formal wear. Not ideal for sporty or outdoor activity.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée envelops you in layers of creamy sandalwood, powdery iris, and spicy black pepper, underpinned by lush cedar and a subtle touch of cacao. The opening crackles with spicy freshness before mellowing into a plush, woody heart, accented by soft florals and a gentle earthiness. Rich, smooth, and modern, it is both inviting and dignified, with a velvety trail that lingers in the air. Perfect for those who seek warmth, refinement, and a sophisticated signature.
