BOIS 1920 Classic 1920 Eau de Toilette 100 ml

Product Information

Oggi Bois 1920 rappresenta dunque il valore aggiunto del settore della profumeria di nicchia, ponendosi come precursore verso note olfattive nuove, da esplorare e “indossare” poi, affinché coinvolgano, ispirino e armonizzino i nostri sensi. The story all began in the 1920s when the grandfather Guido Galardi started experimenting the first formulas in his tiny workshop in Florence. He began collecting the Spigo (Lavander flowers) which ripens on the Florentine hills. His pursuit mixes different expressive features: essential oils, scented solutions, perfumed bags. I suppose I shouldn't be all that surprised at my sudden discovery, because several of the positive comments here and on Fragrantica are from women. Women are probably the most complementary of it.....often comparing it favorably to such things as Coromandel and Prada Amber. Bois 1920 is a brand of artisan perfumes from Florence that expresses the Galardi family’s passion for the art of perfume – making which is handed down from one generation to another. Passion that livens up, inspires and carefully enriches our line, of over 30 fragrances today. Moreover, the raw materials research combines tradition and innovation, for a harmony of unique and charming olfactory compositions.

Jovoy showcases a selection of this of thirty-three fragrances collection. Exclusive, timeless fragrances. Each creation is an alchemy, unique in its sensations, born out of an ancient perfume culture, which is centered on the excellence of raw materials for creating new, precious versions. To me, it's a relatively simple formula of citrus, patchouli and herbs to start off (even though the patch is listed as a middle note). As I said, I've never been much of a patchouli fan, but compared to some I've smelled, RP is rather mild and non-offensive. You can tell it is there, but there never seems to be enough of it to justify its name being the star of the show for this fragrance.Profumi Artigianali Firenze BOIS 1920 Bottega Italiana Spigo Dalle prime formule nella bottega artigianale alla ricerca perfezionata nel tempo, BOIS 1920 rappresenta l'eccellenza nell'arte profumiera a Firenze The Bois 1920 Discovery set is the perfect way to introduce yourself to this supreme collection of fine fragrances. Depending on availability, your set will include a mix of branded and non-branded sample vials. Each vial contains approx 1.5ml of juice.

Although it is listed as a unisex fragrance, I don't think I would ever be fully comfortable wearing it. Don't get me wrong, the smell itself is VERY nice. But it's nicer for women, IMO, not me. So I'll be giving it to my wife.This fragrance, to me, is primarily dominated, not by patchouli, but by lightly smoky amber, benzoin and vanilla. After the first few minutes, that's pretty much what it develops into, and it's all rather linear. It gets better and softer as time goes on, and winds up being an extremely pleasing vanilla (mainly) scent to me. The vanilla sometimes seems to even take on a little bit of a chocolatey smell to me, similar to Noir de Noir in its later dry down (which is the best part of the fragrance). The top note here is an extremely sweet candied orange, at once bright yet so viscous I feel as if I'm inhaling a jar of marmalade. The citrus syrup persists into the heart of the scent, where it is seasoned with cinnamon and supported by very sweet amber. There are some floral notes floating about as well, predominantly a bright, clean jasmine, but they are very much subsidiary to the sweet stuff. The story all began in the 1920 when the grandfather Guido Galardi starts experimenting, the first formulas in his tiny workshop in Florence. He began collecting the “ Spigo” ( Lavander flowers) which blooms on the Florentine hills. His pursuit mixes different expressive features: essential oils, scented solutions, perfumed bags. All these characteristics inspire and shape the brand Bottega Italiana Spigo 1920 (BOIS 1920) which acquires a worldwide importance over the years along with recognised rewards. In 2012 Bois 1920 was selected among the best five olfactory expressions at the FiFi Awards (the Oscars of perfumery) in New York. I love chocolate and vanilla, but the thing that draws the line for me at being unable to wear it is a noticeably feminine powdery smell most of the way through. I love powdery scents, too, and have several of them. But this one just yelled out "feminine" to me, so it's just not going to be my cup of tea.

Today Bois 1920 represents the added value in the niche perfumery sector playing an active role towards new olfactory versions that need to be explored and worn. A role that engage, inspire and harmonize our senses. The opening of RP is the only part that is a little bit challenging for me, and that's probably BECAUSE of the patchouli (and a certain herbal smell). But within 10-15 minutes, it starts to blend with other pleasing notes, which are the REAL stars of the show.Artisan Perfumes Florence Bottega Italiana Spigo From the first formulas in the artisan workshop to the research perfected over time, Bottega Italiana Spigo is among the five olfactory expressions worldwide.
