What does Bois d'Argent (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens on Yemenite frankincense, which gives a resinous, smoky air. In the heart, Indonesian patchouli, Somalian myrrh and Florentine iris absolute add a powdery, floral weight. The base holds woody notes, amber, white musk, honey and leather; the honey sweetens it and lends a creamy softness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter ahead of summer. Occasions are spread evenly across business, daily wear and evening. Voters lean towards reading it as masculine.
