Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Bois de Turquie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jean-Paul Millet Lage. Bois de Turquie opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of West Indian Bay, Jasmine, Iris, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Myrrh, and Incense. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier's Bois de Turquie carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Bois de Turquie is a gorgeous, spiritual journey in a bottle, though don't expect it to shout. It's refined and unique, but recent reformulations mean it might not be the powerhouse it once was for some.

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.

About

Opens with a bright, almost mouth-watering burst of mandarin and orange blossom, quickly joined by the exotic intrigue of West Indian bay. As it develops, a creamy, almost buttery sandalwood emerges, softened by delicate iris and jasmine. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of myrrh, incense, and a hint of patchouli, creating a warm, ethereal, and subtly spiritual dry down.
