Bois Contre Soi

Bois Contre Soi opens with a bright, almost medicinal clash—bergamot and bitter orange cut sharp against warm ginger and smoky incense, creating immediate tension. The heart softens into creamy floralcy: black locust blooms pale and honeyed while cardamom and rose thread spice beneath magnolia's soapy sweetness. As it settles, the woody base emerges—sandalwood and guaiac wood anchor everything in warm, resinous earth, while Brazilian rosewood adds a subtle pink undertone that lingers long after the brightness fades. Contradiction is the point.
