About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Bois d'Argent opens with a dry, almost metallic iris that cuts through cypress and juniper berries, creating a cool, shadowed entry. The heart turns contemplative: myrrh and patchouli add a resinous, earthy depth that feels both ancient and modern. As it settles, the base reveals a complex weave of woods, honey, vanilla, amber, resins, musk, and leather—a warm, enveloping finish that never tips into sweetness. This is a woody chypre that balances powdery iris with rich, animalic undertones.
Collectors who appreciate iris-forward scents like Dior Homme or Chanel's La Pausa will find much to admire here. It suits those who prefer understated elegance over loud projection. Ideal for cool weather, evening wear, or formal occasions, Bois d'Argent is a unisex composition that feels intimate yet sophisticated. A discontinued gem from 2004, it remains a benchmark for modern iris-woods fragrances.
中文簡介
Bois d'Argent 以鳶尾花、絲柏與杜松子開場,散發冷冽而乾燥的粉質氣息。中調沒藥與廣藿香帶來深沉嘅樹脂與泥土感,基調則以木質、蜂蜜、香草、琥珀、樹脂、麝香與皮革交織,溫暖而唔甜膩。整體係木質西普調,粉感鳶尾與動物性底蘊取得平衡,適合鍾情鳶尾香氣嘅收藏家。氣質低調優雅,唔張揚,適合涼爽天氣、晚間或正式場合,男女皆宜。2004年停產,至今仍係現代鳶尾木質香嘅參考之作。
