Bois Sikar
Bois Sikar by Atelier des Ors is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with nutmeg and guaiac wood, moves into vetiver, styrax and cedarwood and dries down to tobacco, cypriol and incense. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Heart
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Dry-down
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
