| I was also not impressed by no 22. it smelled like some fairly pleasant but forgotten floral soap in my grandma's bathroom. Pretty bleh.
But bois des illes sounds wonderful and I want to smell it one day, and shame they don't always sell samples online. The online blog bois de jasmin has some wonderful things to say on it. It was made in 1926 by Ernst beaux and
"Bois des Iles is a scent that awakens my nostalgic yearnings. Its beauty has the same melancholy effect as a walk through the autumnal forest—the soft light diffused through the golden canopy of branches, the bittersweet scent of decaying leaves, the awareness of the autumnal transience...Beaux composed a feminine fragrance that emphasized the strength and darkness of woods, a traditional masculine domain...The genius of the composition lies in weaving dry woodsy accords with hazy sweetness of a floral bouquet refracted through the aldehydic prism...The drydown of Bois des Iles contrasts wonderfully with the cold medicinal breeze in its top notes and hints not only at the presence of beautifully carved sandalwood ornaments, but also a plate of freshly baked ginger bread emanating its luscious spicy aroma..."
Gingerbread and fall leaves! Now there's a dream perfume... |
