Modern, stable, awesome!

Very nice woodsy, dry, stable and modern composition. The comparison with Ganymede is a bit misleading, though. Just because both fragrances use this new Akigalawood ingredient (some people are anosmic to it )does not mean they are the same fragrances. While I did not really enjoy Ganymede due to that suede accord, I find Bois Imperial very attractive and highly wearable. I detect quite strong cedar wood vibe and I absolutely love it. In fact I was searching for fragrance like this for quite some time now. The vibe is similar, but if you would compare both fragrances side by side, you’d quickly realize how much they differ. I believe, that just because you love Ganymede does not automatically mean that you will love Bois Imperial and vice versa. At least that was the case for me.

Do not expect this to be heavy and thick fragrance with massive projection. Instead you will get long lasting, airy yet noticable scent with high versatility / wearability.

One comparison comes to mind: think about what Dior did with their Dior Homme Original vs 2020. If someone told me that this is modern reinterpretation of Gucci Pour Homme, I’d not be surprised at all. I’m curious what these new molecules entering the fragrance market will bring us in the future.

Overall I really enjoy this one and highly recommend you to try it out. Value for money is fantastic as well as the fragrance itself. Signature scent worthy material! Bravo Mr. Bisch!

Yeah, I think this is the type of a fragrance where you are not sure if anyone can smell it due to the airy nature but I feel it performs really good!
