A masterpiece
A woody, fresh and clean fragrance mainly based on akigalawood, vetiver and ambroxan (ambrofix) with a green touch (basil).

The quality you get for this price is simply awesome. This one is the best of the brand but I would still recommend to try the others.

The performances are great. With 2-3 sprays you can last easily through the day. It is so strong you can fill a room but the smel is so clean that its not overwhelming.

Its a great great compliment getter, maybe the best of my collection.

Thank you Quentin Bisch for this masterpiece.

The best on the market
Bois imperial is, at the moment, the absolute perfection in the niche (and not only) world.

It’s only 70€/100ml
Longevity is a 10
Proyection and Sillage are a 10
The aroma is brilliant, everybody around you will love it.
It’s eco friendly.

If i would start a brand, Essential Parfums would undoubtly be my inspiration.

Overhyped nuclear bomb
Everyone and their mother hyped this up and I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. To me, this is a nuclear warfare for my nostrils. Bisch typically overdoses his works with akigalawood which isn't necessarily something bad always, but it just doesn't work here (for me).

Starts with a peppery, woody, grassy BOMB that doesn't stop projecting. You immediately get the akigalawood, basil & pepper. But it's SO abrasive it's just too much for my nose. After an hour or two it gets smoother and actually enjoyable.
If you thought about blind buying please sample before because this is a hit or miss.

Beyond fresh…
…. Those were my initial thoughts when I first sprayed this. Very bright, very green, very strong.

This is a mature scent in my opinion. One for specific occasions, whether formal or professional. Not suitable for just anyone.

You have to know what you’re getting into; and you have to be dressed accordingly. Button up shirt and slacks, no less. It almost gives an authoritative vibe, so you must be dressed to fulfill the expectations created along those lines.

It’s not a crowd pleaser by any means, nor is it a date night scent. This is for when you want to exude your intellect and confidence. It smells of success, but not in a “Wall Street Wolf” manner. This is more of a medical professional, successful business owner, or educational professors scent.

Very, very mature. Very masculine. Respected.

Performance is great. A lighter feeling, bright sillage trail follows a 3ft projection bubble for a good 6-8 hours.

Great scent, but very specific.

A gem!!
I wanted to see what the hype was with this fragrance. Got me a sample and just loved how this smells. Had to get me a bottle.

You get a lovely blend of woodiness and freshness from Akigalawood and Haitian Vetiver.

I also get a slight herbaceous vibe with the basil. Making this a clean, green, woody, refined and classy beauty of a fragrance. Definitely giving this major burn in the Spring and Summer months.

It is not a very complex fragrance but still, as a fragrance to pair with a suit or elegant shirt it is perfect.

Bois Impérial is a very woody scent, dry, fresh, peppery and synthetic. The base is slightly green with vetiver and patchouli.

Pity this has been diluted/reformulated, the original was 73% VOL and stronger. The new one is 80% VOL and weaker, though smells the same.

Obnoxious, poorly blended, screechy mixture of ambroxen and an overdose of akigalawood. Mediocre.
