FougèreWhat does Bois Éternel smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a handful of voters have weighed in. It reads as unisex, suiting men and women alike.
It opens bright with bergamot, orange and lemon. French lavender, blond woods and geranium form the heart, and the base of vetiver, sandalwood, woods and oakmoss leaves an earthy, fougère-like trail. The overall impression is fresh, lightly floral and dry-woody.
