Bois Impérial from Essential Parfums is a green, peppery wood, created by perfumer Quentin Bisch to wear close and clean. Basil and Timur pepper open it sharp, green and aromatic. Vetiver and woodsy notes take over the heart, earthy and a little smoky underneath. Akigalawood, patchouli and Ambrofix carry the base, warm and spicy without turning heavy. Essential Parfums pitched it unisex, a single wood that moves from desk to dinner without needing to change. Voters wear it across every season and every time of day, at the office as easily as at night. On the community vote, longevity tips long-lasting and sillage tips strong, so one or two sprays are plenty. A 3ml decant is enough to see whether this particular green wood becomes your everyday one.

The community verdict
Vetiver and woodsy notes define Bois Impérial, reached through basil and Timur pepper before patchouli settles in. Views divide between long-lasting and exceptionally long-lasting wear, and between strong and room-filling projection. It fits autumn evenings; winter and daytime work too.
