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.

Its bold projection and rich, woody-leather profile make it a standout for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for the office. Reviewers often highlight its suitability for 'a nice dinner with a suit' or 'barbecues on a cool night', indicating its versatility for social, dressier settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bois Rouge opens with a fleeting citrus kiss before diving headfirst into a rich, dry leather tempered by a vibrant cedar. Earthy patchouli and vetiver add depth, while subtle white florals like jasmine and lily of the valley weave through, preventing it from leaning too heavy. The scent settles into a warm amber and sandalwood embrace, with that sophisticated leathery hum persisting throughout.
