Strong woody freshness
It's summer, it's hot, it's humid, I'm in a bad mood.... We're at a friend's birthday party. A handcart tour followed by a barbecue is on the agenda.
2 p.m., we set off. I go ahead with a friend. We are the only ones not drinking. The asphalt radiates an unpleasant, humid heat.
A few meters behind me, I can hear my friend's conversation with a friend in one ear: "Mmmm, one of the two in front of us smells good. I'll have to do a sniff test right away." I am irritated. I inconspicuously try to smell the friend next to me. Nothing. He's not the perfume type either. I smell myself, nothing to smell either. I don't give it a second thought.
Later that day. It's even hotter, even more humid. The clouds are piling up into menacing-looking mountains. The horizon has turned dark. My motivation barometer is approaching zero. We take a break. A clearly buzzed friend walks through the crowd. "Someone here smells intensely of perfume. I've been smelling it everywhere the whole time," she says and stops abruptly in front of me. "It's you, isn't it?" I deny it, because I don't smell anything. A friend from further back intervenes: "Of course it's you. I can smell it too". We move on.
We arrive back at the starting point of our tour, it's evening. In the meantime, it had started to pour, we were all soaking wet. At least it's cooler now. A friend fires up the barbecue.
I enter the garden shed, which has been converted into a bar, and sit down on a bar stool at the counter. The friend sitting next to me immediately turns to me: "It's you. You come in and you smell that scent again." I shrug my shoulders, because I don't smell anything.
By now it's night and we're back home. My friend looks at me and asks: "What's that scent you're wearing today that so many people are reacting to?" I reply: "It's "Bois Impérial | Essential Parfums".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bois Impérial | Essential Parfums" is a curious fragrance. The performance seems to be remarkable, although I can hardly smell it. I can just smell it where I sprayed it and every now and then when I move around. Here and there it gets up my nose and then it's gone again.
I particularly smell grapefruit and pepper, later something woody. The whole fragrance is carried by a balsamic, mineral note. The mineral note reminds me a little of Oud Minérale but not as pronounced. The whole composition has a fresh effect and is particularly suitable for warm temperatures.
I don't smell metal, disinfectant or even the smell of a corpse (which I have unfortunately already smelled live).

What you perceive very fleetingly in that fragrance is here in 100-fold potency.
One spritz, I can smell it all the time!
