What does Bois Lumière smell like?

It opens with Corsican juniper, clary sage and mandarin orange, cool and slightly resinous. In the heart, honey, carnation, fir balsam and rose turn it sweeter; the base of beeswax, cedar, immortelle and benzoin dries down warm. Woody, resinous and earthy tones stay in the background but remain clear.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time. Masculine and feminine votes are nearly even, so it sits truly in between. Hima Jomo Summer in Paro and Galimard Gaïac Précieux have a close profile.
