The olfactory pyramid of Bois d'Or
- Top notes: Iris, Cypress, Juniper berries
- Heart notes: Myrrh, Patchouli
- Base notes: Woody notes, Honey, Vanilla, Amber, Resins, Musk, Leather
The top notes of iris, cypress and juniper berries create the first impression. The heart of myrrh and patchouli then unfolds, giving the fragrance its character. Finally, the base of woody notes, honey, vanilla, amber, resins, musk and leather lingers on the skin and clothes long after application.
Olfactory family: Woody Chypre
Bois d'Or belongs to the woody chypre family. The woody facet gives the composition structure and longevity. The chypre structure contrasts a luminous opening with a dry, refined base. Its dominant accords on the product page are woody, chypre, powdery, resinous, honeyed and leathery.
Its sillage is elegant and long-lasting, and its longevity is 8 to 12 hours on the skin, thanks to the high concentration of the Extrait de Parfum.
A unisex fragrance: who is it for?
Like all Kane fragrances, Bois d'Or is unisex. It wasn’t created for a particular gender, but for you if you’re drawn to a woody chypre that reflects your personality. It may come across as softer on your skin and more intense on someone else’s. That’s exactly what makes a fragrance personal.
When should you wear Bois d'Or?
Bois d'Or is ideal for evenings, dinners and occasions when you want an elegant signature scent. It comes into its own in autumn and winter, and can also be worn at the office with a light touch.
Bois d'Or is best enjoyed in autumn and winter. We recommend it for evenings, dinners and occasions.
How to wear Bois d'Or
Spray twice on your wrists and once on your neck. Let it dry without rubbing: the iris and cypress unfold first, followed by myrrh and patchouli, before the base of honey, vanilla, amber and leather comes through.
- Moisturised skin: apply an unscented moisturiser before your fragrance to help it last longer.
- Spray from the right distance: apply from 10 to 15 cm away, to your pulse points (neck, wrists and inner elbows).
- Don’t rub: let it dry naturally to preserve the way the notes develop.
