Il Était Un Bois
Taking pride of place at the heart of La Collection, Il Était Un Bois is inspired by a walk through the forest and explores all the facets of wood.
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.
"No other fragrance has ever offered a more subtle incarnation of wood, using buckwheat with its little-known woody facets." - Caroline Dumur
