The Story
Bois d'Orange is a warm, woody citrus that feels like a sun-drenched forest. The reformulated version softens the original's sharpness with a smoother, creamier sandalwood base. It opens with bright orange and bitter grapefruit, then settles into a cozy blend of cedar and amber. This is a scent for those who love citrus but want something deeper and more sophisticated.
