Bois Imperial

Bois Impérial sample by Essential Parfums brings together aromatic freshness, lively spice and bold woods in a distinctive eau de parfum. Created by Quentin Bisch, this unisex fragrance pairs the green character of Thai basil with a substantial woody foundation, offering a striking balance of brightness and depth.

The opening evokes freshly crushed Thai basil leaves, their spicy freshness complemented by Nepalese Timut pepper absolute. Its sparkling, grapefruit-like facets add a zesty lift, giving the fragrance an energetic introduction. This crisp combination creates a vibrant contrast with the richer woody notes that shape the composition.

Haitian vetiver contributes green, earthy depth, while Georgywood introduces pronounced cedarwood tones. Petalia adds a delicate floral dimension, bringing lightness to the woods. At the centre of the fragrance’s signature is Akigalawood, an ingredient produced from patchouli through biotechnology, with a distinctive spicy, woody character.

Indonesian patchouli oil deepens this rich foundation, while Ambrofix reinforces its powerful presence. The result is a modern woody fragrance with aromatic clarity and an earthy undertone, suited to those who enjoy fresh scents with substance. This Essential Parfums perfume sample lets you explore Bois Impérial for daytime or evening wear and discover how its contrasting notes develop on your skin.
