Bois des Sables in detail
L'Artisan Parfumeur, the Paris house founded in 1976 by Jean Laporte, entrusted Christophe Raynaud with its Les Merveilles collection, fragrances designed to leave a marked trail. Bois des Sables is one of them; the house files it among both its amber and its woody scents.
The house publishes three key ingredients, without sorting them into stages. Cistus labdanum, a resin from Andalusia, brings an ambery warmth with leather and honey accents. Earthy, woody patchouli gives it depth. Round vanilla softens the whole.
Bois des Sables is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a dinner, a night out, an evening by the fire. With only three materials, it is a legible amber, warm and enveloping, that will appeal to lovers of resins.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Honey Oud by Floris brings together patchouli, cistus labdanum and vanilla; Ambre 114 by Histoires de Parfums and Ani by Nishane pair patchouli and vanilla.
