Bois Impérial Hair & Body Mist

I am still looking for a kind of cologne version of Bois Impérial but was unable to test this hair and body mist version as no testers were available in store. I finally managed to get a really good deal on this on and on Nice Bergamot. The opening is not as glorious and spicy as the EDP, the spices are toned down and the thai basil is almost not perceptible. the first minutes consist of a light citrus and woods that will settle really quickly (less than 10 minutes) to the tartiness of the akigala without the complexity we are used to in the EDP and the extract. Once the 30 minute mark has passed it turns a bit more creamy musky with the akigala tartiness (almost vetirery) and It won't evolve much. Overall it is a nice scent that will remind you of the original without being a watered down version, it does it's own thing even though with the same backbone. I won't be hard regarding this one as it is sold as a body and hairspray which usually (and thankfully) are not the most long lasting nor complicated scents. The composition is non alcoholic and oil based and the spray equivalent to what you have in a perfume (no aerosol) which is nice. I think of it more as an accessory good that will help the EDP when layered or compliment it when used as an hair spray.
