Bois de Turquie

Bois de Turquie opens with a bright, luminous citrus profile dominated by bergamot and mandarin orange, though the inclusion of orange blossom quickly steers the scent away from a simple kitchen-citrus and toward something more refined. It captures the feeling of a sun-drenched landscape, leaning into the warmth of the Mediterranean rather than the sharp zest of a typical cologne. As the fragrance develops, it reveals its more botanical and sophisticated heart. The presence of laurel provides a distinct herbal, savory quality that balances a powdery iris and white jasmine. This transition feels like moving from an open orchard into a shaded garden. The dry down is where the "Turkish wood" theme truly grounds itself; the base is a resinous blend of frankincense and myrrh, smoothed out by creamy sandalwood and a touch of earthiness from patchouli. It wears like a lightweight, elegant wool garment—structured enough for a professional setting but relaxed enough for a quiet evening.
