Bois Des Iles Parfum

Created by Ernest Beaux
Bois Des Iles Parfum by Chanel is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Bois Des Iles Parfum was launched in 1926. The nose behind this fragrance is Ernest Beaux. "A warm, woody scent created in 1926 by Master Perfumer Ernest Beaux, BOIS DES ILES is evocative of a stroll through an autumnal forest. Dry and spicy notes derived from precious woods spiral into a heart of sweet flowers. Now, this rare composition is offered in a parfum; the most powerful, concentrated form of fragrance and the fullest expression of the perfumer's art." It is also described as an invitation to travel. Its woody composition features oriental notes that evoke exotic destinations with Sandalwood and Ylang-Ylang blossoms from the Comoros. Bois de Iles is a mysterious, faraway continent in itself. Available in a 15 ml bottle.
