Sitting by the fireplace
This masterpiece is just awesome.

Only bad thing is maybe first 2 minutes after spraying it as I get momentariliy strong stink of burning car tires.

After two minutes that goes away and I get a scent that gets me back to my childhood and spending time at my grandparents on the mountain. I feel like I'm sitting next to the fireplace and enjoying smell of burning woods.

Styrax gives it that heavy smoky scent and all the different wood notes are blend in one beautiful woody scent. Together they are simply fireplace. Not to be surprised as the nose behind this is the same one that made Replica's By the fireplace.

But this is stronger, sharper, better blended and not linear but changing all the time.

In addition to it, there's a hint of nice, sweet tobacco in the background to make it rounder and bit smoother.

After some time you can feel musk scent croaching in slowly even though musk is not in the notes.

After couple of hours you get beautiful and mild smoky, woody, musky scent, like some kind of cream.

After 7-8 hours you are only left with nice and really close to skin musk scent which lasts yet another 7-8 hours at least on my skin.

Awesome creation with really good projection first couple of hours and crazy long lasting.

Most surprisinlgy majority of people find it nice and pleasant and gave me compliments.

For me refreshing and different scent oppose to majority of scents that we all know. Simply masterpiece. Fireplace in a bottle.

Nothing short of amazing.
I'd like to start my review by saying that this fragrance is not for the faint of heart. It has a smoky aspect like no other, and is only for mature noses who would like something unique.

The fragrance opens up with the smell of a fresh, unlit cigar. The tobacco note here is just spectacular, along with a minute hint of "sweetness" from the styrax. The tobacco stays throughout the fragrance, with woody notes coming up shortly after. The smoky aspect of the fragrance I believe comes from the Guaiac wood, and is truly divine.

This fragrance is extremely well blended. It can be worn by either men or women, and therefore is completely unisex in my opinion, while some may find it to lean a little bit masculine. I'd say a woman who is charismatic enough can pull this off no problem.

If you have a strong personality that you can pull off Coco Noir by Chanel, then you can pull this one off, too. It's not for the faint of heart, though, as I previously mentioned.

I adore this creation. I truly do. I'm not particularly sure if the flakes inside the bottle are real gold or not, but they sure do give you a feeling of luxury and add to the presentation. The cap is full metal, and is super heavy. I feel that over time, as I wear this, and the juice level gets lower, that this bottle might get top-heavy and start to tip over easily. This is how heavy the cap is! xD

The plaque on the front is also metal, and is both inlayed and glued onto the bottle. The back of the bottle has some engravings on it, so you won't see the glue gluing the front plaque on (this has long frustrated me with some bottles as it might look kinda cheap, but it's not the case here).

Bois Sikar by Atelier des Ors. A masterpiece. A fragrance I'd enjoy for years to come.
Bois Sikar - A Smokey, Whiskey, Cigar-ry fragrance. Would definitely recommend.

I don't understand how a cigar aficionado OK'D this as the final version of the perfume that would best represent his passion. It smells like a wet barbeque, a bonfire that never fully commits because it was put out by American beer too early. Why was this made?

A better alternative is Bois d'Asecese if you want a refined smokey scent with a similar woody profile.

Venturesome Experience
Bois Sikar is an audacious frag for sure. I've been wearing this bold, smokey, and woody scent for a few days and it makes an impression. It is high quality Niche perfume and a splendid addition to the Atelier Des Ors - Black Collection.

The initial spray reveals the unique character of Bois Sikar -- the smoke, cedar, and tobacco burst forward like cracking the door to a cigar bar filled with all the aromas rushing into your nostrils. It's not a smell to accentuate but an experience. BS is so well blended the strong notes invite you in and then confidently hand you a single malt whiskey neat. It's ballsy, unabashed, elegant, sophisticated, seductive... this stuff is great! It's a man's man scent that the ladies want you to smell like.

One reviewer on LuckyScent stated, "People will love you or hate you." That's most likely true, but either way they will respect you. BS stands beside the other Atelier Des Ors: Black Caps in my collection, but he's so confident he'd securely stand alone.

Finally, Bois Sikar has excellent performance: 10+ hours longevity with hours of strong projection. He will not disappoint! Also, BS garners numerous compliments and unsolicited statements as if others are compelled to acknowledge him.

Atelier des Ors - Bois Sikar
This is intriguing; I like it. Right from the start, I could pick up on the guaiac wood. I didn't need to look up the notes, as guaiac has a very distinct smell that is prominent here.

It has a smoky aroma, almost reminiscent of barbecue—meaty, even. Yet, at the same time, there is a freshness, particularly in the opening, that contrasts with the smokiness. Initially, I thought something camphorous was responsible for this freshness, but after reviewing the notes, I can't pinpoint what exactly contributes to it. Is it the cypriol or the nutmeg? Perhaps the cedar leaf? I'm not sure what the latter smells like in isolation.

After a while, the freshness subsides, giving way to a spicier profile, with a hint of sweetness emerging as well. The sillage seems stronger than that of most other perfumes I’ve sampled from this house.

Looking at the reviews, this perfume appears to be quite divisive...

A gentleman in a luxury men's club. Unlit cigar and whiskey in hand. An empty ashtray in front of you. It's masculine and good.

Smoke + oud (sorta) + frankincense = you'll smell like BBQ ashes. Not my vibe.

Unbelievably strong and long lasting KC barbecue, sweet sauce included, and burning wood. Yum! Not something I’d want to wear though.
