Bois d'Argent
Bois d'Argent by Dior is an unisex eau de parfum from 2004 in the luxury price tier. It opens with iris and honey, moves into amberwood and frankincense and dries down to sandalwood, musk and benzoin. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Heart
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
