The story behind the bottle.
No.12 Bousval by Maison Louis Marie was launched in 2021, crafted by perfumer Marie du Petit Thouars. This aromatic fougère composition opens with Sicilian bergamot and white cardamom, creating a bright and fresh top note. The heart of the fragrance is anchored by white ginger lily and heliotrope, adding a floral warmth that contrasts beautifully against the crispness of eucalyptus and petitgrain. The base notes of oakmoss, cedar, myrrh, and amber provide an earthy, woody depth that grounds the entire composition.
No.12 Bousval's top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so apply two sprays initially to ensure you catch that fresh opening. The warm base notes develop over time, making it a fragrance that reads differently throughout the day — best enjoyed close to skin rather than from across the room.
