Bois d’Ebene: Palo Santo from Paraguay

Bois d’Ebene by Matiere Premiere
Woody Aromatic
Aurelien Guichard

I smell organic wood and a hint of citrus. There are no lemons listed, so the aromatic aspect must come from juniper berries. In Bois d’Ebene, Palo Santo is balsamic and sweet, almost edible.

This composition would wear nicely on a man’s man. It is a less formal, modern version of Irish Tweed by Creed. I would like it on a conservative man for everyday wear. It is a decent fragrance which unfortunately lacks uniqueness, which interestingly makes a solid present for a guy. Does not offend but does not blow your socks off either. If that is what you want, go for it. Not bad at all.
