Bois d'Ebene

by Aurélien Guichard

Matière Première Bois d'Ebene is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Aurélien Guichard. Bois d'Ebene opens with Juniper, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha. Matière Première's Bois d'Ebene carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Bois d'Ebene is a divisive one, often described as a 'safe' woody choice but still an 'addictive' charmer. Some find it a bit too commonplace for the price, others adore its smooth, creamy woodiness. Expect a quality, albeit understated, experience.

About

Opening with a crisp, forest-like burst of juniper, Bois d'Ebene quickly settles into its woody heart of guaiac wood. This is no sharp, spiky wood, but a rounded, almost creamy texture. Earthy patchouli and the unique, slightly smoky depth of cypriol oil underpin the composition, creating a fragrance that's both grounding and smoothly sophisticated, with whispers of something amber or subtly sweet beneath the surface.
