Le Bois de Boulogne

Le Bois de Boulogne opens with a sharp, almost electric brightness—pear and green apple cut by thyme and bay leaf, with Sichuan pepper and cloves snapping underneath. Aldehydes lift the top into something crisp and refined, while gunpowder smoke and neroli add intrigue. The heart softens into spice-touched florals: jasmine and rose rounded by ylang-ylang, rum's warmth threading through lily-of-the-valley and iris. As it settles, a dense woody base emerges—oakmoss, agarwood, and teak anchored by leather and vetiver, with amber and sandalwood creating a resinous, skin-close finish that holds hints of vanilla and patchouli.
