Délices des Bois

For the average middle class person, there is nothing exceptional enough about this to justify its price. However I do have to admit that it’s my new favorite woody fig, even though I wouldn’t buy a FB anywhere near market price. It’s a lovely creamy fig, not syrupy or green. Starts very cocunutty but turns creamy. The woods are very present but not that distinct sandalwood you get in so many that have a “room smell” vibe instead of a smell for a person, nor the distinct cedar that specifically Leans masculine. I’m not sure how to describe the woody notes besides what they aren’t. I guess that’s the dreamwood? The florals give this a major boost in beauty that other fig scents lack, and the lemon is ultra subtle but just gives it a little more dimension. Very signature - worthy if it weren’t so expensive. I don’t think it would be weird on a man but I think of it as a women’s scent.

It’s hard to resist the urge to spray this on everything... I genuinely want my entire environment to smell like Delices de Bois. This feels like the brand’s magnum opus; anyone with an interest in this house needs to sample this at least once. The blend is seamless. No single note dominates; instead, everything melts together into a clean, luminous, distinctly feminine composition. The green, juicy fig softens and brightens the sandalwood beautifully, removing any trace of dry, sour, or woody edges. If I were ever to design a haircare line, this would be the scent as it is effortless and universally appealing. The only downside is performance, but the brand is upfront about their EDPs living in that 4–6 hour range. Honestly, it’s so beautiful that it justifies buying/making a travel spray for reapplication without hesitation.

Ok, so creamy fig can sometimes go heavy or overly sharp on my skin, so I approached this one with caution — but it actually never tips in that direction. Instead, it opens smooth and softly sweet, with a gently milky fig wrapped in polished woods. As it develops, it stays balanced and structurally supported rather than becoming dense or bitter. The sweetness remains controlled, the woods keep it composed, and nothing overwhelms. It doesn’t dramatically evolve — it simply settles into a refined, quietly elegant warmth. On me it wears beautifully and then gradually softens away. In summary, this is a chic, well-behaved fig wood that stays graceful from start to finish. I love it!

This is so lovely but why doesnt it stay for more than hour ? I love love love this slightly sweet creamy wood fragrance with expensive ingredients that become smoother and clean smelling in the drydown. I keep smelling my wrist and wish it would stay longer. Has strong resemblance to Flagrant Delice (but Delices des Bois is better) but Flagrant does not stay long either. I feel like I have to spray Delices des Bois 10 ml all over my body just to make the scent stay! Sadly, i dont have much time in the mornings before I go to work. Veronique, do something to make it stay longer !

i kept on getting hints of it throughout the day and i love how warm and inoffensively musky it lays on the skin on its drydown. this fragrance is not too heady, grounded by a the fig-dulled sharpness of lemon. it's wonderfully balanced, and the woody base notes work well for me. it smells very calming, not too heady and headache inducing like some sandalwood and white floral scents. a true fig lover loves all parts of the fig, and this one is distinctly warm and creamy, moving away from its typically green-ness. absolutely gorgeous fragrance.
