Launched in 2006 by Guerlain, Bois d'Armenie is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Annick Ménardo. The composition opens with a bright note of pink pepper and incense before transitioning into the heart of iris and benzoin, which adds depth and warmth. The base notes of guaiac wood, copahu balm, patchouli, and white musk create a smoky and powdery atmosphere that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The pink pepper top note is fleeting, so focus on allowing the warm amber and woody base notes to develop over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
