"Bois Bélize captures the lush vibrancy of tropical forests. I wanted to explore the wild, untamed heart of nature through these bold and textured woody notes."

Made in France

Bois Belize is a potential modern classic—an enigmatic composition whose profile resists easy definition. At first impression, it feels leathery and smoky, yet not through leather itself. Instead, it’s the exquisite tannic edge and subtle herbal smoke of yerba maté that sets the tone, creating an opening that is both intriguing and atmospheric.

Cool flashes of resinous, spicy cardamom provide lift and brightness, cutting through the shadows with aromatic clarity. Osmanthus threads delicately through the heart, lending its rich, ornamental nuance, including soft leather and blond tobacco, apricot, and tea. This seamlessly melds with a textured rose that adds body and quiet elegance to the evolving form.

Anchored by a polished base of vetiver, guaiac wood, musky ambrette seed, and moss, Bois Belize achieves a remarkable balance - woody, spicy, fresh, and warm in turn. It belongs to an increasingly rare category of traditional scent: more than the sum of its parts. An effortlessly compelling fragrance that feels grounded yet luminous, familiar yet entirely its own.
