By the editors · 2 min readBois Mysterieux opens with neroli—bright and citrus-floral, more orange blossom than orange peel—a sunny declaration that quickly complicates itself. Saffron appears within minutes, its metallic, slightly honeyed quality threading through jasmine with an almost skin-like warmth. Cedar provides structure in the mid-stage, joined by patchouli which adds an earthy, shadowed quality that earns the name.
The base is where this becomes genuinely interesting: leather and myrrh together produce something resinous, darkly animalic without being heavy, the myrrh lending an almost ecclesiastical depth. For a supposed summer forest dream, it's surprisingly contemplative and dark—an evening fragrance wearing daylight clothes.
