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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a sophisticated woody profile, make it suitable for a range of settings. While too subtle for a grand formal event, it's elegant enough for a nice dinner and certainly works for everyday wear or an office environment that appreciates understated class.

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

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 des Sables opens with a smoky whisper of cypriol and gurjun balsam, quickly evolving into a creamy heart of cedar and sandalwood. The woody core is complex, featuring prominent vetiver and a hint of oud, rounded and softened by a subtle, non-gourmand vanilla. This isn't a sharp, raw forest floor; it's a smooth, almost molten wood warmed by balsamic notes and a hint of patchouli, creating a surprisingly elegant and versatile woody experience.
