Sous Bois Parfums Retro, launched in 2014, is officially considered a masculine fragrance, falling within the chypre and wood families. The author of this composition is Hugh Spencer, and that explains a lot. Offered in eau de parfum concentration.
Country of origin — the United States: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. Sous Bois Parfums Retro unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
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 Sous Bois is built as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Parfums Retro comes through from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
In the first seconds you sense petal-airy top notes: Almond, Bergamot, Citrus accord and Geranium. Exactly these 4 notes set an elegant floral wave that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
At the core of development you detect Guaiac wood, Labdanum and Oak moss keeping a structural woody direction.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Citrus and Gourmet with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Floral, Musc, Wood and Powdery expand the olfactory volume in the background.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Gourmet, Citrus, Floral and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Spicy, Wood, Balsamic and Earthy / Mossy.
Taken together Sous Bois reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.
