Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Cyprès is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2023, created by Alexandra Carlin. Bois de Cyprès opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cypress, Lavender, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Clary Sage, and Cashmeran. Karl Lagerfeld's Bois de Cyprès carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Bois de Cyprès is a fresh, green everyday scent with mass appeal, but its poor performance is a dealbreaker for many. If you don't mind overspraying, it's a solid, understated choice for warmer weather. Great value, but don't expect it to last.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its low performance and fresh, aromatic profile make it ideal for casual, everyday wear or office environments where a subtle scent is preferred. It's not assertive enough for formal events or a lasting impression on dates, though the refreshing qualities could suit light sporting activities.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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 de Cyprès opens with a lively burst of mandarin, lemon, and spicy cardamom, quickly leading into a refreshing aromatic heart. Mid-notes of cypress and cool mint mingle with soothing lavender, evoking a walk through a sun-dappled forest. The dry-down settles into a warm, earthy base of vetiver, clary sage, and cashmeran, leaving a softly musky, green trail.
