Bois d'Argent Perfume for men and women
The Christian Dior Private Collection has made it possible to showcase bottles with rare essences composed by master perfumer François Demachy. This collection has also made it possible to rediscover forgotten perfumes such as the series of three colognes composed under the direction of the legendary stylist Heidi Slimane: Eau Noire, Cologne Blanche and Bois D'Argent. The magnificent Bois d'Argent offers itself once again to our nostrils in 2022 to better captivate us with its heavenly olfactory promises.
Bois d'Argent is the work of the talented Annick Menardo. Although very inspired by the sober sophistication of the Dior artistic director at the time, the perfumer wanted to work her favorite ingredient, iris pallida, in whimsical and daring lines. Thus the iris is no longer the retro flower that powders the scents of yesteryear but a resolutely modern note that is tinged sometimes with light and sometimes with darkness to make us enter a Silver Wood of a thousand wonders.
“Feminine or masculine? Bois d'Argent doesn't choose: it's a white shirt worn by whoever wants it. A sharpened Dior allure accompanied by an iconic, skin-deep trail. This perfume has the elegance of an iris absolute that blends with sensual musks, immersed in a mysterious smoke of incense. It's a contrasting composition that plays on a noble florality, a taut softness. »
François Demachy, Perfumer-Creator Dior

What smell to expect?
Let's be clear, the iris pallida has always been a perfumer's fantasy as it is rare, expensive and precious. Yet it was often worked on for its powdery facets in order to bring a delicate tenderness to floral notes, often at the heart of the fragrance. For this Bois d'Argent Annick Menardo offered us an absolutely unique iris that finally dares to face the night of warm and oriental notes.
Thus Bois d'Argent opens with notes of incense from Yemen married to our famous note of iris pallida absolute, which gives this opening an intense floral powdery warmth. At the heart, myrrh from Somalia and patchouli from Indonesia lead us into the heart of a warm, suave and sensual wood. Finally, the leather note married to a pretty melting honey takes us to intense depths where the flower judged as retro becomes terribly modern but also sensual.
Generic perfumes, a cheaper alternative?
There are more and more generic perfumes on the market, to the delight of those who want to limit expenses in the acquisition of a quality perfume. There is indeed the doubt generated by counterfeit products, but generic perfumes are equivalences of branded perfumes which are very different from fake perfumes.
Indeed, the generic perfume is a particular olfactory composition which is characterized by a high concentration and which is conditioned by different brands of perfume. Sometimes the term "extract" is used to qualify the generic perfume. France happens to have the most impact on the perfume industry in the world.
To use a statistic that has been verified and respected many times over, a generic perfume has a molecular composition that is 98% identical to that of the real perfume. In fact, when you buy a generic perfume, you buy a perfume and not the brand.

Thus, the generic perfume is certainly not a copy because the formula, although almost identical, is different from the original perfume. Nor is it a counterfeit. A very simple way makes it possible to ensure that we are dealing with a generic perfume and not a counterfeit. Put a few drops of the perfume in a small container and strike a match. In the presence of a real perfume, the essence ignites, which will not be the case if the perfume is cut with water.
Finally, by buying a generic perfume, you opt for a quality perfume for a much more affordable price compared to that of a branded perfume. Don't forget to share the article on Facebook and Twitter!
