Bois Imperial

★★★★★Editorial rating 4.5/5 · How we rateEau de Parfum · 100 ml

Bois Imperial by Essential Parfums feels confident and grounded, carried by fine woods. Bergamot and grapefruit in the opening; vetiver and geranium at the heart; patchouli, ambrette and cedar in the base. With medium sillage and 7–9 h longevity, it shines best during the day and in autumn. Understated with attitude: refined, never loud.
