More about Essential Parfums Bois Impérial
Bois Impérial by Essential Parfums is a unisex woody aromatic fragrance created by perfumer Quentin Bisch. It opens on the green, aromatic freshness of Thai basil and Timur pepper, then unfolds into a luminous, magnetic woodiness. The heart notes are vetiver and woody notes, and the base notes of Akigalawood, Ambrofix and patchouli deepen the earthy, warm spicy character. The effect is a transparent yet tenacious modern wood, with enormous projection and long-lasting wear, and it is at ease from the office to the evening. Wearer opinion is spread unusually evenly: fall and winter lead slightly, spring and summer are close behind, and evening, daytime and the office are almost level. That makes Essential Parfums Bois Impérial easy to wear for anyone, men or women, who wants a clean woody scent that is green and aromatic rather than sweet, and who needs one fragrance for most of the year.
