Masaki Matsushima Bois d'Inoki is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Jean Jacques. Bois d'Inoki opens with Bergamot and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Fig and Hinoki Wood, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Benzoin, and Incense. Masaki Matsushima's Bois d'Inoki carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Bois d'Inoki is a divisive scent: some find it a meditative green retreat, others a light, fleeting woody-floral. If you love violet leaf, it's worth a shot, but don't expect a strong fig.

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

Bois d'Inoki opens with a fresh, airy burst of bergamot and distinct violet leaf, setting a green and slightly spicy tone. The heart introduces the unique, subtly resinous aroma of hinoki wood, blended with a hint of green fig, offering a touch of earthy sweetness without being overtly fruity. As it settles, a clean cedar note emerges, softened by a cozy benzoin and a whisper of non-churchy incense, creating a serene, woody base.
