Bois d'Amande, created by Sidonie Lancesseur for Van Cleef & Arpels in 2020 and worn by anyone, is a soft almond-and-wood gourmand that reviewers score highly. Sweetness leads, and about half of people also notice woods, musk and citrus.

Almond and lemon open the scent with a nutty, marzipan-like sweetness brightened by a fresh citrus zest. Virginia cedar forms the heart, a dry, clean and pencil-like woodiness that gives the almond structure. The base is vanilla and musk, a creamy, comforting and skin-like finish.

Wearers are split between moderate and long-lasting wear, and the trail is mostly moderate. It is voted for autumn and winter and worn by night slightly more than by day. Worn by anyone, it suits cosy days, dinners and cool evenings, for people who enjoy a refined, gently sweet almond scent.
