Bois d'Arménie

Bois d'Arménie by Guerlain is an unisex eau de parfum from 2006 in the luxury price tier. It opens with frankincense, iris and pink pepper, moves into benzoin and dries down to patchouli and white musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
• Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
• Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.

Heart

• Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.

Dry-down

• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
• White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
