Crushed Thai basil and Timut pepper from Nepal bring a green, peppery freshness, while Haitian vetiver, Georgywood and Indonesian patchouli build the wood. The brand calls it a bold woody signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThai basil, Timut pepper absolute (Nepal), Haitian vetiver oil, Georgywood, Petalia, Akigalawood, Indonesian patchouli oil, Ambrofix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt on Akigalawood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuentin Bisch builds the perfume around Akigalawood, a natural ingredient the brand says is upcycled from patchouli through biotechnology. Indonesian patchouli oil stands next to it, so patchouli is told twice here, once from the oil and once from the upcycled material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFresh spice as counterweight\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand describes its signature as a contrast between patchouli and fresh spice. Crushed Thai basil and Timut pepper absolute from Nepal supply the spice: green and herbal from the basil, dry and lively from the pepper. Set against dark patchouli, they stop the woods from turning heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA cedar-toned wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaitian vetiver oil and Georgywood give what the brand calls a cedar-toned woody character, dry and upright rather than sweet. Petalia and Ambrofix complete the list of named materials, and nothing on it points towards vanilla or fruit, so the scent stays clearly woody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCool days suit it best, when wood and patchouli have room to spread, though the fresh spice also works on a bright spring morning. It is comfortable at the office and equally at dinner. At 16% concentration, two or three sprays on chest and neck are enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomeone who likes woods dry and structured, and who enjoys patchouli as long as it is kept in check. The brand presents it as unisex. If vanilla-heavy woody scents feel too sweet to you, this contrast-led composition is a leaner option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Essential Parfums Bois Impérial\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA short list of named ingredients, several with a stated origin: Nepal, Haiti, Indonesia. The perfumer signs the label, as the brand does for all its perfumes. The brand states 93% natural-origin ingredients, a vegan formula and a refillable bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat concentration is Bois Impérial?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is an Eau de Parfum, concentrated at 16% according to the brand, in a refillable 100 ml bottle. That places it between a light eau de toilette and an extrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow would you describe the scent in one line?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoody and built on contrast: patchouli, vetiver and Georgywood set against fresh basil and Timut pepper, with no sweet note in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it a daytime or an evening perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth. The fresh spice suits a working day, the patchouli and wood suit an evening out. Cooler weather gives the woods more room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Bois Impérial a men's or a women's perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand presents it as unisex. The composition is woody and spicy rather than floral, which says something about the scent, not about who should wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essential Parfums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658635542680,"sku":"EPA-BOIS-IMPERIAL-EDP-100ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/1157\/8520\/files\/essential-parfums-bois-imperial-eau-de-parfum-100ml.webp?v=1791360599","url":"https:\/\/nichegems.eu\/products\/essential-parfums-bois-imperial-eau-de-parfum-100ml","provider":"NicheGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
