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.
