Bois Des Iles Parfum by Chanel, launched in 1926, is a composition crafted by Master Perfumer Ernest Beaux. It evokes the essence of an autumnal forest with its dry and spicy woody notes that spiral into a heart of sweet flowers, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The fragrance's oriental accents, featuring sandalwood and ylang-ylang from the Comoros, invite you on a journey to far-off lands. This parfum concentration is an invitation to experience the fullest expression of Beaux’s artistry.

Application Tips
Apply Bois Des Iles Parfum with a light hand — the parfum concentration means it projects well from close to skin. The spicy notes are prominent at first but give way to the warm woods and florals over time, so layering is unnecessary for daytime wear. For an evening out, a single spritz will linger beautifully.
Ernest Beaux
Founding perfumer · 18 fragrances · b. 1881 · French
“I presented Mademoiselle Chanel with samples numbered one through five, and twenty through twenty-four. She chose number five.”
Ernest Beaux is the perfumer who changed everything. Born in Moscow to a Franco-Russian family, he served as an officer in World War I before entering the laboratories of A. Rallet & Co. in Grasse. In 1921, he presented Coco Chanel with a series of experimental samples — and sample number five became Chanel No. 5, arguably the most famous fragrance ever created. By boldly incorporating synthetic aldehydes into a floral bouquet, Beaux shattered the conventions of natural perfumery and ushered in the modern age. His legacy is not merely a fragrance but an entirely new way of thinking about scent.
