What does Essence de Bois Précieux smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a balanced trail close to the skin without filling the room. The sample of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Its unisex profile sits comfortably on both men and women.

The top holds bergamot, myrrh and cistus: bergamot brings brightness while myrrh and cistus add a resinous shade. In the heart, gaiac wood, papyrus and cedarwood build a woody frame. The base of vetiver, patchouli, ambergris and sandalwood dries down earthy and smoky.
