This is a simple, elegant, French type of fragrance. Opens with an almost powdery juniper/citrus combination but it's clearly underpinned with complementary woods of cedar and vetiver, softened with 'that' orris vanillic feel from Celine later on. That is the story of Bois Dormant. Cannot for the life of me understand any comparisons to Dior Homme, I mean if you wanna say Dior Homme is a better fragrance than this... then fine...I'd agree with that statement but... it's apples and oranges. The intent of this fragrance is clear and I think it nails the brief. I can't really think of a naturalistic, citrus cologne, cedar/juniper with those soft base elements in a cheaper price bracket (not saying they don't exist) but I think I'm reasonably happy with the quality and textural subtlety of this, albeit for a high price. That being said, I reckon it's one of my least favourites of these but no shame, they're a good line.
