Bois Mystique of Houbigant is warm, woody, spicy – a very elegant, modern classic for gentlemen. But do not let that stop you ladies, this one is to share!
Bois Mystique starts with a fresh spicy opening of bergamot and pink pepper. This develops into a warm woody fragrance with a slightly powdery dry-down. Luca Maffei created a new modern classic with Bois Mystique.
Ca Fleure Bon on this fragrance: “During the six-hour plus drydown the cedar, cashmerewood, and guiacwood envelop you in a buttery resinous blanket, like that first moment you step into a cedar lined closet with its haunting aroma of ice-cold moonlit nights and warm woolen blankets.”

Woody
Woody fragrances are full of character and indeed very woodsy. They can be warm, soothing and creamy, but also dry and spicy. Key ingredients are cedar wood, patchouli, sandalwood and/or vetiver. Oudh (agarwood), Palo Santo and guaiac wood have also joined the perfumer's palet, just like the fantastic synthetics such as Javanol or Iso-E-Super.
