Bois d'Orange
Lime and orange create a brisk, juicy opening that feels like sliced citrus left on a cutting board, the bergamot adding a faintly bitter edge that keeps the fruit from turning sugary.

By the editors · 2 min readLime and orange create a brisk, juicy opening that feels like sliced citrus left on a cutting board, the bergamot adding a faintly bitter edge that keeps the fruit from turning sugary. Petitgrain enters early, its green-leaf facet stretching the citrus into something more leafy and less edible, while tarragon supplies a cool, slightly anise-tinged lift that sharpens the transition. Pink pepper flickers briefly, a dry rosy spice that dusts the heart before the woods settle in. Guaiac and cedar knit together into a clean, pencil-shaving axis, vetiver contributing a cool, rooty smoke that reins in the lingering lime zest; white musk finishes the wear close to the skin, soft and laundry-quiet. Projection stays within arm’s length for about five hours, making it an easy daytime option for warm spring or summer offices and casual outdoor brunches.
