Details on Naomi Goodsir Bois d'Ascese

Bois d'Ascèse is a captivating and reassuring smoky scent. Imagine a wooden church in the Australian hills, the air filled with the scent of a nearby blaze - a childhood memory of designer Naomi Goodsir. This perfume mixes notes of tobacco and whisky with Somalian frankincense, cade wood, amber, and cistus labdanum. It's a deep dive into woody and resinous aromas, like a warm fireplace or a sunny pine forest. A truly memorable scent.

How does Naomi Goodsir Bois d'Ascese smell?

This perfume opens with a strong scent of smoky cade wood, like a real wood fire. Soon, you'll notice hints of whisky and dry tobacco. The heart brings in Somalian frankincense, adding a rich, resinous feel. As it settles, soft amber and cistus labdanum warm up the lasting smoky and woody notes. You might also catch a faint touch of oakmoss and cinnamon.

A slasher night

In my opinion, if one word had to sum up this perfume, it would be "Uncertainty". Its autumnal and discreet composition evokes the warmth of a campfire in the heart of the forest. One perceives the scent of toasted marshmallows, jokes, reunions among friends, the comfort of a cabin... Yet, beyond this sweetness lies something insidious; an opaque fog, that of a starless night, when the hooting of owls morphs into a latent warning, when the threat seems so real that it is impossible to ignore, without even being able to name it. It is a very specific moment, the one where monsters come to life, where Jason and other slashers suddenly cease to be legends, and where the slightest crack of a twig is enough to trigger a jumpscare...

Tribute to Scotland

Smoky single malt with spicy depth. Incense in the base, dry and warm, with a subtle herbal touch. Distinctive and authentic.

Campfire blues

This fragrance smells intensely of a smoky campfire, but over time develops more gently and acquires a fine note of whiskey. Unfortunately, it is not for me, as I find it too strong. However, it is definitely wearable. It is perfect for real tough guys, such as firefighters or rockers in a smoky bar. The composition is a true masterpiece. It must certainly be no easy task to create this scent.
