Guerlain Bois d'Armenie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Annick Menardo. Bois d'Armenie opens with Iris, Pink Pepper, and Incense, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, Coriander, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Copaiba Balm. Guerlain's Bois d'Armenie carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, refined benzoin-incense masterpiece that Guerlain inexplicably chopped. Bois d'Armenie is a sophisticated, comforting scent that everyone seems to be scrambling to get their hands on before it's gone for good.

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.

Its refined and warm character makes it ideal for dates and formal events, creating an elegant impression. While its projection is generally subtle to average, it's suitable for office wear, but less so for casual daytime activities or anything sporty due to its rich, resinous profile.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Bois d'Armenie opens with a gentle dust of pink pepper, quickly ushering in a soft, ethereal iris that blends seamlessly. Soon, the warm, resinous embrace of benzoin takes centre stage, underscored by smoky incense and the subtle depth of guaiac wood. It settles into a cosy, almost vanillic amber with earthy hints of patchouli and clean musk, creating a consistently smooth and enveloping aura.
