Il Était Un Bois Ingredients Il Était Un Bois Ingredients

VETIVER

Originally from India, vetiver takes root in the volcanic soil of Haiti and on the Indonesian island of Java. It is distinctive for its earthy, smoky facets.

CEDARWOOD

A major wood in perfumery, the smell of cedar is that of wood shavings. This note gives structure, running through the fragrance from beginning to end.

BUCKWHEAT

Buckwheat is still a little-used ingredient in perfumery. Its grainy note enhances the woody notes, giving fragrances a whole new facet.
