The story behind the bottle.
Quentin Bisch's Bois Impérial Extrait by Essential Parfums is a bold and contemporary take on woody aromatic fragrances, launched in 2024. The composition opens with the vibrant freshness of pink pepper and black pepper, which immediately sets a spicy and stimulating tone. As it settles, rose and balsam fir add warmth and depth, while atlas cedar and labdanum create a rich, enveloping base that feels both modern and lasting.
Essential Parfums, known for its rebellious spirit in haute perfumery, presents Bois Impérial Extrait as an unapologetic statement of olfactory artistry. This fragrance is a proof of the brand's commitment to giving perfumers complete creative freedom, resulting in a composition that is both fresh and complex.
Bois Impérial Extrait is best applied in a single generous spray to the pulse points. The spicy top notes are bright but short-lived; the real depth emerges after about 30 minutes as the woody base comes into its own. It’s a scent that feels closest to the skin, so it reads better up close than from across the room.
