Bois d'Hiver in detail
Bois d'Hiver is one of Ex Nihilo's eaux de parfum. The house describes it as a powerful woody scent, rounded into a powdery, musky heart, and links it to the image of strength held in check by softness. Volute files it among woody fragrances, as the house does. The official page does not allow its perfumer to be credited with certainty.
The official pyramid opens with pink pepper and fresh, spicy cardamom. The heart gathers floral, watery cyclamen, heliotrope with its powdery almond accents, and cedarwood. The base pairs sandalwood, patchouli, musk and earthy cypriol.
Bois d'Hiver suits autumn and winter, by day or by night. The spices of the opening quickly fade behind the woods, which heliotrope and musk make softer.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Kashmir by Ormonde Jayne shares cardamom, cedarwood, sandalwood and patchouli; Danaë by Argos brings back cedarwood, pink pepper and musk; Epic Man by Amouage also pairs cardamom with sandalwood and cedarwood.
