Edgier deepening of the EDP but less agreeable, much less of a deal

Essential Parfums Bois Imperial Extrait is an extrait version successor from 2024 to the original EDP version from 2020. It has some overlap with the EDP in its fresh/spicy/classy/woody blend but it definitely has a bit more depth and provocation. It has similar notes of balsam, cedar, and black pepper, but adds rose and, a note I’m unfamiliar with, timut berry, which to me strikes me as somewhere in the vicinity of cade and juniper, a mix of green, sharp, and sweet aspects, which certainly add to the overall diversity of the scent and make it a departure from the safer yet still very sophisticated EDP. Overall, I think it’s very good, with the tradeoff from the agreeability of the EDP to some of the edginess / uniqueness of the extrait being reasonable.

Unlike most of the house, which is EDP concentration and priced at $96 for 100ml, Bois Imperial Extrait is extrait concentration and priced at $145 for 30ml, more than quadrupling the cost per ml of the EDP. As with the rest of the line, this is sold in the US via great boutiques like Ministry of Scent and Luckyscent, along with the house’s own site.

The much higher price point of the extrait is a slight barrier to entry, given how modestly-priced most of the line is, but I like it and anyone that likes Bois Imperial EDP should surely try out the Extrait, as they might find it more rewarding. I still like the Extrait, though.

Marketing has invaded fragrance community

So, despite the fact that this perfume is not for me and more for males! But here's some thoughts..

Long story short, this is similar to the first releases of Bois Impérial Eau de Parfum ..

If you remember, the first batches were too much strong in terms of performance, sillage and longevity..

Then the company thought about releasing anothet version after the success of the perfume in the first couple of years.

Then, they watered it down literally by producing the 80% version which made the perfume lasting couple of hours maximally..

Then, some years later, they refilled the old batches in a 30ml fancy bottles and added some trival modifications on some notes, then booom, they used the marketing to hype it up for double of the original price for only 30ml!!

The only advantage about this company is the pricing! But now they lost this advantage!
Cheerio.
