Bois Extreme, from Mansfield was released at unknown year. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Benzoin and Incense, middle notes of Honey and Myrrh, and base notes of Amber and Leather.
Short review in based of my sample: This is quite classy and sophisticated yet cozy and resinous blend with Vanilla like aroma from Benzoin. The style resembles quite much first Van Cleef & Arpels’ compositions with a delicate Vanilla in them but this one is heavier because of many reasons. As the scent develops the differences are more pronounced and I just feel that I have smelled this kind of resinous Vanilla like scent dozens of times. Aroma of Vanilla comes from Benzoin so it’s not as sweet nor “delicious” here as in VCAs (in VC&A it’s not edible either). Ambery notes and Myrrh makes this much deeper and honey makes it a bit sticky. it’s not as refined nor luxurious as VCAs. Even if this differs more and more during the time it’s on my skin and this is not something which I would wear frequently and as an easy reach like my VCAs, I still I get the similar feeling. It’s strange since the compositions are totally different. Yet, I was surprised: there is not any synthetic nuances here and the scent is pleasant - worth to try if you like resinous blends with reminiscent of Vanilla. This is not leathery at all imo. Some scents which are in the same category but not the same though: "Material | Amouage" "Grand Soir | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" "Lune Féline (Eau de Parfum) | Atelier des Ors" Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review. I would appreciate if you follow my IG: @ninamariah_perfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗
