What does Bois de Copaïba smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mostly for evenings and nights out, with leisure wear close behind. More voters read it as feminine, though a sizeable share call it masculine.
It opens with red ginger and candied orange. The heart holds amaretto, copaiba balsam and myrrh, and the base settles on acajou wood and sandalwood. The result is sweet, gourmand and resinous, softened by floral, powdery and leathery touches.
