Dry woods with a powdery quiet. Urban and composed, quietly powerful.

How Bois d'Hiver smells, measured

Bois d'Hiver keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 26th percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
