How does the Extrait version differ from the original Bois Impérial?+−
The Extrait is notably deeper and more resinous. While it retains the signature woody-spicy character, the addition of labdanum and fir balsam creates a heavier, more persistent scent profile with less of the airy "lift" found in the original Eau de Parfum.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Because of its significant projection and strength, it is often better suited for evenings, leisure, or nights out. If worn in a business setting, a single spray is usually sufficient to avoid overwhelming colleagues.
Will this appeal to fans of leather fragrances?+−
Yes, despite being classified as a spicy woody scent, the combination of Akigalawood® and labdanum creates a distinct leathery accord in the dry down that will appeal to fans of modern, clean leather notes.
Does the rose note make this smell like a floral perfume?+−
Not at all. The Rose NeoAbsolute™ is used here as a technical ingredient to provide body and balance to the intense peppers and woods. The fragrance remains firmly in the woody and spicy category without a dominant floral character.
