Bic launched DOT Collection №12 in 2016 — and it was a brilliant move. A masculine fragrance rooted in the spicy and wood families. DOT Collection №12 — proudly part of the DOT collection. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
Every application feels like a little ritual — longevity is low. Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. DOT Collection №12 Bic — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of DOT Collection №12 evolves as a layered story, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Bic comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Fairy, Leather, Spicy and Wood. At family level the scent maps to Spicy and Wood.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a creative conceptual mood: Fresh Notes, Leather accord, Spices and Woody Accord.
The middle and base stages are perceived as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Abstract, Wood, Leather and Spicy without random overlap. The profile is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In wear duration Low suggests confident staying power.
In summary DOT Collection №12 holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
