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.

Good for layering

It has a very strong ash accent. Too much for me. I'm not sure if I wear it pure, but in a combination with other scents it sounds interesting.

good, decent, fine, whatever

Fantastic fragrance carrying notes of smoky whiskey and woods; I would say it isn't bad for layering on some others. overall i like it. But all i can think about is one use for this fragrance- on my jacket.
