The story behind the bottle.
Alberto Morillas crafted Bois de Mysore in 2016 as a sophisticated blend that balances the freshness of citrus with rich, warm spices and woody notes. The fragrance opens with tangerine and neroli, creating an initial burst of brightness that feels both crisp and uplifting. As it evolves, cardamom adds a subtle warmth, complemented by the earthy tones of sandalwood and jasmine. The base notes of violet leaf, white musk, and additional sandalwood create a powdery, enveloping embrace that lingers long after the first spritz.
Apply Bois de Mysore lightly to pulse points; the top notes are bright but fade quickly. The warm base notes will linger for hours, so you may find it best suited for daytime wear when its powdery comfort can subtly enhance any occasion.
