Identity and Release History

The fragrance Van Cleef & Arpels Bois Dore is a creation born in 2017 that transports us to a world of refined luxury.

Released under the aegis of the famous house Van Cleef & Arpels, a symbol of Parisian elegance and impeccable taste, this perfume reflects the rich heritage of the brand, where jewelry art meets perfumery.

It belongs to the exclusive line Collection Extraordinaire, which emphasizes its uniqueness and craftsmanship, making it a coveted acquisition for connoisseurs of exquisite fragrances.

Released in a year when the trend for woody-oriental compositions was gaining momentum, Bois Dore became a response to the demands of an audience seeking a balance between warmth and sophistication.

This perfume not only complements the collection but becomes its gem, reflecting the brand's aesthetic through the lens of modern perception.

Positioning and Wearability

As a unisex fragrance, Bois Dore offers freedom of self-expression, suitable for both men and women who appreciate complex and multifaceted compositions.

With its medium sillage, it leaves a delicate but noticeable trail, perfect for evening outings or special moments when one wants to emphasize individuality without being overly intrusive.

In the format of eau de parfum, the fragrance has sufficient longevity to accompany you throughout the evening, without overwhelming those around.

For those looking for alternatives, it's worth paying attention to similar fragrances, such as Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous with its bold character, Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka for its cozy sweetness, and Carner Barcelona Palo Santo for its meditative woodiness.

Bois Dore sounds particularly advantageous in cool seasons—autumn and winter, when its warm notes create a cozy atmosphere.

Authors and Influence

Behind the creation of this masterpiece is the talented perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, known for his ability to combine classical elements with modern accents.

His work on Bois Dore demonstrates a deep understanding of materials, which allowed the creation of a fragrance that harmoniously fits into the DNA of Van Cleef & Arpels, enhancing the brand's reputation as a creator of exquisite perfumery works of art.

The influence of this release on the brand lies in strengthening its position in the niche perfume market, attracting a new audience that seeks not mass-market, but individual fragrances.

Bois Dore became a symbol of how the traditions of the house can be reinterpreted through the lens of current trends, while maintaining elegance and chic.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance pyramid of Bois Dore begins with a refreshing and spicy opening, where black pepper and minerals create an energetic introduction, reminiscent of a sparkling breeze.

At the heart of the composition, a rich bouquet of almond, tobacco, vanilla, and white cedar unfolds, adding warmth and depth that smoothly transition to the base notes.

The finish of the fragrance is presented with teak wood, tonka beans, and musk, creating a long-lasting and cozy base that envelops the skin in a gentle trail.

This balance between spicy, woody, and gourmand notes makes the pyramid multifaceted, reflecting the elegance and complexity characteristic of oriental and woody fragrance families.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.
