Fine fragrance has a stunning ability to represent myth and poetry in vivid reality- to make the conceptual come to olfactive life. In Bois Dore, Fabrice Pellegrin envisions a fantastical Golden Wood, glowing with rich woods, delectable spice and smooth tonka bean. While the core of the scent is undeniably the interplay between the velvety, robust wood notes and a powdered, vanilla-inflected tonka bean, the beauty of Bois Dore manifests itself in its remarkable versatility- fans of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Penhaligon's Roaring Radcliff will find that a supporting note of tobacco imbues a familiar strain of regal, masculine texture, while the powderiness of the tonka and a distinctly sweet almond maintain a warm, feminine sensuality. And no matter your persuasions, a long-lasting tingle of black pepper and a salty mineralic note provide a unique and energizing sparkle. While not every fragrance lives up to its concept, we're thrilled to report that Bois Dore is every bit the luminous, fantastical Golden Wood we were promised.
