Bois Talisman in detail
Bois Talisman belongs to La Collection Privée Christian Dior. It is born of two superstitions: the lucky piece of wood Christian Dior kept in his pocket and the sugar cube Francis Kurkdjian always keeps on him. The perfumer explains that he moved from sugar to an intense vanilla. Volute files it among woody fragrances.
Dior lists two notes, without sorting them into tiers. Powerful cedarwood is linked by the house to the couturier's drawing pencils. It frames a vanilla obtained through several extraction methods, to show several sides of it, from tender to intense.
Bois Talisman suits autumn and winter, by day or by night; its two materials make it simple to read.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Back to Black by Kilian Paris shares cedarwood and vanilla; Fat Electrician by Etat Libre d'Orange also pairs cedarwood and vanilla; Oud Nude by Guerlain finds cedarwood and vanilla around oud.
