Guerlain Les Absolus d'Orient Bois Mystérieux is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Thierry Wasser. Les Absolus d'Orient Bois Mystérieux opens with Neroli and Bay Leaf, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Leather and Myrrh. Guerlain's Les Absolus d'Orient Bois Mystérieux carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like few others. It's a bold, beast-mode oriental that demands confidence and can either be your signature masterpiece or just a bit too much 'body odour' for some. Definitely needs a test run before committing.

About

Bois Mystérieux opens with an arresting blend of fresh, aromatic bay leaf and a bright hint of neroli, quickly deepening into a rich heart of cedar and earthy patchouli, softened by a touch of jasmine. The base is an intoxicating embrace of dark, animalic leather and warm, resinous myrrh, creating a dense, woody-spicy profile that lingers beautifully on the skin.
