Bois d'Ascese

Name: Bois d'Ascese Eau de Parfum
Brand: Naomi Goodsir

Naomi Goodsir Bois d'Ascese is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Julien Rasquinet. Bois d'Ascese opens with Whisky and Tobacco, settles into a heart of Amber, Cinnamon, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Oakmoss, and Incense. Naomi Goodsir's Bois d'Ascese carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Bois d'Ascese is a divisive beast: you'll either adore its realistic, deep smoky embrace, or you'll recoil at what some call a 'barbecue' or 'cathedral' scent. It's a powerful statement for those who dare, but certainly not a blind buy.

With its strong, realistic smoke and incense accords, Bois d'Ascese is far too intense and evocative for most office environments. It excels in colder weather for date nights or elegant formal events, but its unique character means it's best reserved for situations where you want to make a singular, memorable impression.

About

Bois d'Ascese opens with a powerful, almost aggressive blast of smoky wood and rich tobacco, reminiscent of a crackling bonfire or an ancient, incense-filled chapel. Soon, the boozy warmth of whisky emerges, mingling with an amber heart that pulls in labdanum and a whisper of cinnamon. The dry-down settles into a comforting yet profound blend of dry cedar, earthy oakmoss, and lingering, contemplative incense, evoking a sense of grounded tranquility amidst the initial intensity.
