What does Bois 21 smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters pick it mostly for leisure and business, with daily wear not far behind. More people read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens fresh, citrusy and green, with bergamot and lemon bright on top and lavender at the heart. The base of vanilla, amber, benzoin and tonka bean sweetens it into something powdery and creamy, while vetiver carries the spicy, earthy side. Bois 1920 Vetiver Ambrato and Byredo Gypsy Water (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
