Bois D`argent is a part of the collection of three fragrances: Bois D`argent, Eau Noire and Cologne Blanche. All three bottles were designed by Hedi Slimane, who was in charged for Dior’s prestige Pour Homme pret-a-porter collection. Annick Menardo is the creator of this unisex fragrance. Aromatic juniper berries, smelling dry and fresh, cypress and cold – powdery iris create the top of the composition. The heart is sweet – woody with an intensive aroma of incense, contributed by Somalia myrrh, patchouli creating winey, woody aroma, characterizing chypre fragrances. The base adds up warmly and sensual with vanilla, musk, amber, woody notes, honey and leather scent. The perfume has been on market since 2004, as well as the other two, available as 125, 250 and 500 ml eau de cologne.

Dior BOIS D'ARGENT is a gorgeous woody iris composition, slightly sweet and more oriental than chypre, thanks to the vanilla. I do not detect the leather at all, but it may contributing synthetically to give this cologne its overall warm, inviting aura, complete with resins and honey.
I associate silver with cold and metal, nothing like the coziness of this creation at all, so perhaps it would have been better named BOIS D'OR. I'll hold out the hope that at some point someone at Dior will realize that they need to re-release something this nice at higher concentration. As it stands, BOIS D'ARGENT is far too fleeting, but it certainly is nice while it lasts!
I am from Germany
Where to buy this perfume?
THANK YOU
This is a beautiful unisex fragrance which from the start smells like the sweet basenotes of Hypnotic Poison. The rubbery top notes of the latter have always turned me off, so this fragrance is just my cup of tea -- the very best of HP. Also, I don't smell any patchouli in this, so it must be very light.
It must have served as a blueprint for Dior Homme, because you have to be completely senseless not to notice the resemblance between the two of them! I get a clean and peaceful vibe from wearing Bois d'Argent.
Where did I smell this before? Bois d’iris by Van Cleef! This one was created in 2004 thou. One step in advance. Maybe it is just a coincidence. ;)
You can judge for yourself if I am right.
Bois d’iris: sweet notes, frankincense, iris, driftwood, vetiver, ambergris, labdanum, myrrh, and vanilla.
Bois d’argent please note above.
It is quite easy to draw a parallel.
Anyway. This Bois is one touch more woody (probably the combination of juniper, chypre and woody notes) and leathery.
Olfactive group: woody chypre ? It must be a very modern and urban one… As there are few notes missing from being a real chypre composition. Also the end result is far from it: subtle, smooth, velvety, ambery unisex cologne.
However, very well balanced composition that is hard to dislike.
As I mentioned, it starts very similar to Bois d’iris of VCA : amber, myrrh and musk with a resinous feeling.
The leather and the musk are creating a common tone, sensual and personal, close to the skin and refined.
The honey note brings a second dimension to the amber, creating a “golden” and warm aura. Nothing really sweet, at least for a feminine nose. Very warm with good silage.
The woody tones will become less remarkable after 30 min. They will be complimented by the resinous notes, creating a hint of pepperiness (similar with Bois d’iris) without having any real peppery notes.
Powdery? Just an idea. Iris? Not much. The above description: dry, fresh and cold must be from a different fragrance. This is warm, sensual, inviting.
Dry down ambery-myrhh-vanillic velvety with a whisper of patchouli. Good staying power.
It seems there is another fragrance “coping this one”: Iris by Odori 2008. I guess being original it is not an easy task.
8.2/10
Gorgeously soft, powdery, and honey-like. ("Powdery" and honey are not my favorite notes by any means, but they work beautifully here.) It has a tenuous connection to Hypnotic Poison, which shouldn't surprise me or anybody else, as they are both Annick Menardo creations. Thoughfully composed and a treat to wear!
