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.

About

Bois Marocain opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of cedar leaf and bergamot, immediately diving into a rich forest of cypress and cedar. The heart introduces a spicy kick from pepper and pink pepper, seamlessly blending with earthy vetiver and patchouli, creating a complex, aromatic depth. The dry down is a meditative experience, with warm, resinous incense providing a smoky, comforting embrace, reminiscent of ancient, well-worn wood.
