More about Essential Parfums Bois Impérial
Bois Impérial by Essential Parfums is a unisex woody aromatic created by perfumer Quentin Bisch. It opens on the green, aromatic freshness of Thai basil and Timut pepper, then unfolds into a luminous, magnetic woodiness of vetiver, Akigala wood (Georgywood), patchouli and Ambrofix. The effect is a transparent yet tenacious modern wood with enormous projection and long-lasting wear, at ease from the office to the evening. It comes in Essential Parfums' signature refillable bottle, a clean, sustainable design made to be refilled rather than thrown away.
