Bois Pacifique Eau de Parfum

The Concept: The Dream of a Coastal Forest
Bois Pacifique (Pacific Wood) captures the serene, mystical moment where ancient, sun-warmed timber meets the crisp, saline spray of the ocean. It is not a tropical coconut scent; it is an intellectual and atmospheric portrait of the Pacific Northwest coastline. Imagine the scent of weathered driftwood, damp earth under towering pines, and the mineral freshness of sea air carried on a cool, misty breeze. It is a fragrance of quiet contemplation and rugged, natural beauty.

Olfactory Description:

This is a woody-aquatic fragrance that avoids cliché, focusing on realism and texture over sweetness.

• Key Notes:

  • Top Notes: The opening is a bracing, invigorating splash of Sea Salt and Ozonic Accord, paired with the crisp, almost lemony scent of Elemi Resin. It smells like taking a deep breath on a windswept cliff.

  • Heart Notes: The true soul of the fragrance reveals itself as the notes of Driftwood, Douglas Fir, and Vetiver. This creates a dry, aromatic, and slightly smoky woody heart that feels both ancient and comforting. A subtle hint of Seaweed or Algae adds a damp, earthy, and authentic marine quality—not like a calone-heavy "aquatic" scent, but like the real scent of the rocky shore.

  • Base Notes: The fragrance dries down to a profound, warm, and ambery base of Guaiac Wood and Ambergris (or a high-quality amber accord). The ambergris provides a animalic, salty-sweet warmth that mimics the skin after a day by the sea, while the guaiac wood adds a smoky, peppery depth that anchors the entire composition.

How it Wears:

• Scent Profile: Dry, woody, salty, and mineral.

• The Experience: The first spray is all cool, damp sea air. Within minutes, the beautiful, dry woods emerge, creating a sophisticated and calming aura. It feels both expansive and intimate. It is a scent that evolves beautifully on the skin, becoming warmer and more personal as the woody base notes meld with your body heat.

• Longevity & Sillage: Moderate to Long-Lasting. As an Eau de Parfum, it would have good longevity (6-8 hours) with a soft to moderate sillage. It is not an overpowering beast-mode scent; its magic is in its subtle, evocative presence.

The Bottle:

The bottle reflects its minimalist, natural inspiration. It would be a heavy matte glass vessel in a soft, hazy grey-green or seafoam tone, reminiscent of the ocean on an overcast day. The cap could be made of light-toned, real wood (like cedar or driftwood), sanded smooth. The label would be simple, with clean typography, letting the color and texture of the bottle itself tell the story.

Who is it for?

• Audience: A sophisticated unisex fragrance for those who prefer nature-inspired scents over sweet or gourmand ones. It appeals to minimalists, artists, and anyone who finds solace in the sea and the forest.

• Occasion: Perfect for daily wear, especially in spring and fall. It is refreshing enough for warmer days but has the woody depth to work in cooler weather. It's an excellent scent for work, casual outings, or any time you want to feel calm, grounded, and effortlessly stylish.

• The Wearer: Someone who is introspective, appreciates artisanal quality, and has a deep connection to nature. They are understated yet have a strong, unique presence.

In Summary:
Bois Pacifique is an artistic, atmospheric woody aquatic that masterfully blends dry driftwood, aromatic fir, and authentic marine notes with a warm, ambery base. It is a wearable landscape—a serene and sophisticated scent for those who dream of the Pacific coast.
