The world first encountered Bois d'Orange by Roger & Gallet in 2009. A unisex fragrance rooted in the wood, citrus, and aromatic families. Perfumer Dominique Ropion left a distinct mark on this composition. A fragrance from the Wellbeing Water collection, in fragrant mist.
Expect a delicate sillage: a quiet, intimate presence. It stays on the skin for a good while — longevity is firmly in the moderate range. Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A weightless, fragrant veil with a light concentration delicately refreshes the skin and gives a feeling of cleanliness and comfort
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Bois d'Orange unfolds as a living composition, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Roger & Gallet is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Fragrant mist keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Amber expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms Middle points to a sustained drydown presence.
At the opening of the pyramid you meet radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Basil, Lemon Verbena and Mandarin.
In the central layer you detect Neroli and Orange blossom keeping a opulent floral direction.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Ambery and Wood.
Taken together Bois d'Orange reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
