Similarity to Aramis
I don't know if it's justified to talk about fragrance twins. But "Bois Velours" is, in my opinion, not very far from "Aramis" (the classic men's EdT).

The latter is harsher, more intrusive; and it has a distinct fecal note, similar to the women's perfumes "Tosca" and "Nonchalance".

In contrast, "Bois Velours" is fluffier, softer, sweeter, somewhat powdery, and has the already described unobtrusive leather scent.

Alongside "Cèdre" and "Patchouli" by Esteban, both with completely different fragrance directions, "Bois Velours" is for me the relatively most pleasant creation of this manufacturer.

When faced with the choice between "Aramis" and "Bois Velours", I prefer the latter, despite the unfortunately higher price.

Green pepper, glass of green olives, despite leathery-animal notes, vegetarian cuisine, a hint of soap. Soft, yes, hardly woody. Spicy.

Starts with Kytta ointment. Then it gets nice. But that's about it. Creamy, floral.

For me, a wonderfully citrusy-herbaceous Chypre with delicate leather. Only the longevity leaves something to be desired.
