Bois D'Armenie by Guerlain c2006

Bois D'Armenie by Guerlain: launched in 2006 as part of the L’Art et la Matière collection. Created by Annick Menardo.








From Guerlain:
The ethereal Bois d'Armenie, inspired by Papier d'Armenie (the scented paper used as incense since the 16th century), is a panoramic sensation of wood, spice and oriental accents wrapped in a transparent cloud of smoke. A beautiful harmony using the heart of benzoin, pink pepper, coriander, patchouli and white musk creates a billowing mist of delicacy. Seductive and alluring, it is made for the woman who leaves a lasting impression, haunting those who dare to love her.

So what does it smell like? It is classified as a woody oriental fragrance.

  • Top notes: incense, iris, pink pepper
  • Heart notes: guaiac wood, coriander leaves
  • Base notes: copahu balm, patchouli, white musk


About L'Art et la Matiére:

L'Art et la Matiere is a collection of rare perfumes that capture the world's most luxurious raw materials with vision and daring. "Matière" means "material" in French. The name of the line is actually a pun on the French expression "L'Art et la manière". It's used when you talk about there being a certain "correct" way of doing things, with "art and manner".
