Bois Doré, from the French house Van Cleef & Arpels, is a fragrance composed by Fabrice Pellegrin and released in 2017. Sweetness leads, with a strong woody side and lighter spicy, musky and aromatic touches.

Mineral notes give a cool, stony opening, and black pepper a dry, sparkling bite. The heart is warm and golden, in keeping with the name: vanilla brings a creamy sweetness, tobacco a dry, honeyed, leafy warmth, almond a soft, marzipan-like richness, and cedar a clean woody line. The base is smooth, with teak wood giving a dry, polished woodiness, tonka bean a creamy, hay-sweet warmth, and musk a soft finish.

Wearers are split between long and moderate longevity, and most describe its projection as moderate. It is voted equally for autumn and winter, and slightly more often at night. Worn by anyone, it suggests cool-weather evenings and refined occasions, for someone who likes golden tobacco-vanilla woods with an almond softness.
