I picked this up at Sephora during my last trip to the US, right when I was out of cash. I did everything I could to bring it home because it seemed spectacular. The trail isn’t very potent, and given the price and packaging, I expected more. However, it has that unique scent you can’t find anywhere else. If you’re not a fan of sweet scents and are looking for something unisex and fresh, I recommend this option. But considering the price, I don’t think it should be a blind buy.

Something curious happened with this one: I didn’t detect any of the listed notes. Instead of woods, it smells like cinnamon (maybe from the sandalwood and pink pepper blend), slightly creamy with a spicy touch. It reminded me of Obsession, but much softer and friendlier. At first, I thought it was unisex, but after half an hour it leaned feminine, sweeter with a floral note, probably vanilla mixed with freesia or orchid. Projection was low at first, then it stayed close to the skin for about three hours before fading. This house has great scents like Book, Moss, and this Bois, but unfortunately, they all share the same flaw: poor performance and inaccessible prices (100ml for $135). I wouldn’t recommend it for the price and longevity, though if you try it, there’s no harm. By the way, a sample was my Valentine’s gift, and nobody wanted it 🙁
