Bois Impèrial By Essential Parfums

Essential Parfums Bois Impérial opens with bergamot and cardamom in a warm, spiced preamble that immediately signals a fragrance with genuine ambitions — the bergamot bright and clean, the cardamom adding the first indication of the warm, woody richness to come. The opening is confident and purposeful.

Guaiac wood and oud form a heart of warm, resinous complexity — the guaiac wood slightly smoky and woody, the oud adding depth and a slight darkness that gives the composition a gravitas that belies its relatively accessible positioning. Bois Impérial is niche quality at an approachable price.

Amber and vetiver create a base of warm, earthy depth and excellent longevity. Bois Impérial is for those who want to experience beautifully made, genuinely interesting woody oriental fragrance without navigating the inaccessibility that sometimes accompanies this category.
