Bois de Mysore

Can I swear in Fragrantica reviews? I don’t think I can. If I could, I would only need one word with four letters. This fragrance has me ready to shout from my window. A bright, fizzy opening (think popping the tab to a $260 orange soda) riled up by a lush violet that sinks into a beautiful, creamy sandalwood with jasmine clinging to the arm of cardamom. Yes, the jasmine is a bit indollic, but I don't care. I don't caaaaaaare. It ties up the whole composition perfectly. Did you know a fragrance can scratch an itch? This one certainly did for me.

Beautiful sandalwood, very classy and realistic. Individual notes are "masterfully blended" to create an elegant accord of precious sandalwood. It is creamy, sour, gently spicy, floral and aromatic. Kinda raw: an indolic jasmine helps a lot in this direction. I love it, I think it's on par with Santalvm by ProFvmvm Roma as my favorite sandalwood scent, although they are very different, Bois de Mysore being a lot more floral. Great great stuff.

I would like to say that the tangerine in this perfume hangs around for almost the full life. It should be higher up in the prominence as shown on Fragrantica. I smell a green sandalwood and neroli as well. It's a very well made perfume and it borrows from Sacred Wood by Kilian but it is much more interesting. Longevity is about 7-9hr, performance is very good for a scent of this type (fresh)

Update: compliment city. Everyone asks for the name!! Someone asked me if I’m wearing Sandalwood absolute

Dry orange woods. A dusty sandalwood christened with a pithy orange and dried cardamom. I don't much pick up on the floral notes, it's a very woody experience. Moderately soft projection for ~2hr, longevity 8-10hr. Despite the name, the official note breakdown does state that it is Ceylon sandalwood and makes no claim as to the presence of Mysore.
