The Scent

An aromatic basil and pepper opening over a dry, earthy woody base built around Akigalawood, a patchouli derived molecule that gives it its signature. It projects hard and lasts, unusual for a scent this refined. Fragrantica lists it as a flat note set rather than a top-heart-base pyramid, which fits how it wears: one continuous woody-spicy accord from start to finish.

Worth Knowing

Bois Impérial is one of the most cloned fragrances on the market right now, with a long list of budget houses chasing it. It is a 16 percent eau de parfum, and the house states it is built with 93 percent natural origin ingredients. Perfumer Quentin Bisch also created Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede around the same Akigalawood signature.

Where It Came From

Released by Essential Parfums in 2020, it became the house's breakout hit and now anchors its own line of body and home products.
