Have you worn Bois d’Armenie?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Dama Incognita

    A truly elegant fragrance, featuring woody notes and an iris that doesn’t smell earthy like others. The resins and spices are there but soft, giving it an oriental touch; I didn’t really notice the frankincense. It’s unisex, though it leans slightly masculine, yet it would suit a woman just as well.

    • Iris

  2. Dama Incognita

    A very elegant perfume with woody notes and an iris that isn’t as earthy as in other scents. The resins and spices linger in the background, lending it an oriental character; honestly, I didn’t detect the frankincense. I believe it’s unisex, though it leans more towards masculine, yet it would look wonderful on a feminine skin.

    • Woody
    • Iris

  3. lorzastyle

    The composition isn’t particularly special, but the product quality is exquisite. The downside is the price. The benzoin adds a sweetness that balances the frankincense and lemon, both of which come across very softly.
