Bois d'Orange

Roger & Gallet Bois d'Orange is a fragrance launched in 2009. Bois d'Orange opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Coconut Blossom, Orange Blossom, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vanilla. Roger & Gallet's Bois d'Orange carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, a true marmite scent. Starts off with a sharp, almost aggressive orange hit, then mellows into something genuinely lovely. It's a cheap and cheerful classic, though some rate it as a headache-inducing cleaning product. You'll either love its honest, natural take on orange or wish you'd never bothered.

About

It kicks off with a bracing, almost bitter blast of petitgrain, Mandarin, and Orange, like peeling a fresh orange, rind and all. Then, the white florals, jasmine and orange blossom, soften the edges, with a creamy, exotic touch from coconut blossom and ylang-ylang. The drydown settles into a warm, woody base of cedar, grounding the zest with a subtle vanilla sweetness that lingers like sunshine on skin.
