PERFUMER’S notes

about the FRAGRANCE

ous Bois Eau de Parfum by Nancy Meiland — nominated Best New Independent Fragrance 2020, styled with pine cone and forest botanicals by MUSE Creative Studio Brighton

With a transparent, mineral opening of cypress, pin sylvestre, rain accord and sweet gale, this coniferous scent glistens with alpine anemones as it unfolds into notes of bell heather, red clover, scots primrose, black hemlock, moss campion, birch tar, myrrh, labdanum and vetiver.

The dry-down is sealed with a velvety accord of mosses and deep, resinous woods that howl at the silver moon from the forest floor.

Nominated — Best New Independent Fragrance 2020.
