Bois d'Orange
Petitgrain and basil cut through first with a sharp, green-aromatic brightness, layered over orange's juicy lift — the opening is unmistakably citrus-cologne in spirit, dry and herbaceous rather than sweet.

By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and basil cut through first with a sharp, green-aromatic brightness, layered over orange's juicy lift — the opening is unmistakably citrus-cologne in spirit, dry and herbaceous rather than sweet.
The heart turns floral as neroli, jasmine, ylang, and orange blossom converge into a warm, honeyed white-floral bouquet. It's a classic mediterranean structure — citrus, herbs, then orange-blossom warmth. The drydown smooths into amber, vanilla, and atlas cedar for a soft, faintly powdered woody finish that's gentler than the opening's snap. Projection is moderate but fades fairly quickly, longevity short-to-moderate. The overall feel is sun-warmed and refreshing, evoking lit terraces and laundered linen rather than anything heavy or formal.
