Bois Secret

Warm, gentle, restrained, classy, very feminine wood - to me, something about it smells of stratospherically expensive natural-oils shampoo you'd get in the finest ladies' hairdressers. A gentle and very 'perfumed' take on wood, there's a lot of sweetness yet it doesn't cloy. It's definitely Tonka-tastic but the bean just gives it a sort of clean snuggliness. Definitely unisex - I think if anything it leans feminine, though is wearable by anyone. Probably not for a very hot day; more of an autumn/winter thing in my book, but it is refined enough not to be overpowering in any setting.

I have to agree with Milkyway, this perfume would smell just as good on a woman as it does on myself. The initial application gives me pepper and spices, and then in the dry down, a smooth tonka bean, amber and sandal wood shaving sweetness slowly comes through. This isn't a hit you in the face tonka gourmand scent like JPG Le Male. This is a smooth, classy scent that a 35 - 50 year old male or 25 - 50 year old woman should wear to a smartly dressed party, night out or meal.

what do you mean it's 'for men'??noo..sultry, deep, balmy and creamy, it smells perfect on a woman!...i may consider sharing it with a man, but will NOT accept that this was created with a man in mind.. It's a nice creamy wood with some dried and fresh fruit mixed in..Very classy, but proceed with caution if you're not sure about your woods.

Yet another beautiful scent from this house. This is spicy but not fresh spicy. It is rather warm spicy/gourmand. If Burberry London for men was mixed with La nuit de l'homme by a nisch company it would smell something like bois secret. Good for winter evenings even though I find it quite weak. Scent: 8.5/10 Longevity: 8/10 Projection: 7/10

Personally I can smell the quality divide between bois secret and Givenchy Pi...but for that it is very similar as it dries down. I like Pi and wear it often at night unfortunately it has a odd bitter edge to it which cheapens what is a lovely creamy sweet fragrance this fortunately doesn't have quite have that. The opening is different smelling more like a spicy sandalwood and nutmeg but then getting sweeter and sweeter which killed the initial interest in minutes. The Tonka beans in here, essentially smell like an almond/vanilla coming across too sweet and perhaps not to everyone's taste. I certainly don't find this to be a masculine flavour except for sitting on a woody base, and was surprised to see it classified as such. I wouldn't wear this fragrance but if you like this sort of thing and are prepared to pay for it this Evody is a more refined and slightly longer lasting Pi. Not for me.
