NAOMI GOODSIR
BOIS D'ASCESE

Naomi Goodsir's Bois d'Ascese opens with a rich and bold blend of tobacco and whiskey, instantly setting a warm and robust tone. As it unfolds, the heart reveals a sweet and spicy harmony of amber, cinnamon, and labdanum, enhancing the complexity without overwhelming the senses. This evolution leads to a deep, earthy base, where incense wraps around the woody notes of cedar and the damp, mossy richness of oakmoss, creating a beautifully grounded finish that lingers on the skin. Best suited for those who appreciate a fragrance that defies conventional boundaries, Bois d'Ascese can be worn throughout the year, transitioning seamlessly from day to night. Its impressive longevity and moderate sillage ensure that it leaves a memorable impression without being overpowering. This unisex scent stands out in a crowded market for its ability to balance warmth and depth, making it a sophisticated choice for both casual outings and formal occasions. For anyone who enjoys fragrances like Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille or Byredo's Black Saffron, Bois d'Ascese is a worthy addition to your collection.

The opening leans on tobacco and whiskey, then a labdanum and amber accord takes over within the first hour. What you'll smell on skin hours in is incense, cedar, and oakmoss — the base does the heavy lifting here. Comfortable year-round. Most wearers settle on liking it (4.2/5) rather than loving it — a safe rotation addition.
