EDP · 2019 · unisex

Bois 1920 is an Italian niche house known for exploring the sensory potential of wood and raw materials, creating fragrances with distinctive character and depth. Elite II, released in 2019, represents the brand's approach to modern sophistication.

Elite II opens with bright lemon and water notes that quickly give way to its true character: a caramel and rose heart layered with white flowers and sugar. This gourmand sweetness forms the fragrance's backbone, supported by a substantial base of vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and precious woods with white musk. The overall effect is a balanced sweetness that doesn't tip into cloying territory, thanks to the woody undertones and the subtle interplay between the floral and gourmand accords.

This works well for those drawn to sweet, approachable fragrances with enough complexity to reward close attention. It performs equally well in cooler months or as an evening option. Fans of The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Heirloom sensibilities will find something to appreciate here.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Water Notes
Water Notes
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Caramel
Caramel
Warm, buttery, and sweet with a slight bitterness from the cooking process, caramel is one of perfumery's most approachable gourmand notes. It adds a comforting, edible quality without going full dessert, and it softens and rounds other notes beautifully. A pillar of the Angel-inspired oriental-gourmand genre.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
White Flowers
White Flowers
A family rather than a single note, white flowers in perfumery typically refers to an accord of white-petalled blossoms (jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, lily) blended to create a rich, heady, indolic warmth. The quintessential note of feminine oriental fragrances, sensual and enveloping.
Sugar
Sugar
Clean, crystalline, and sweet without complexity, sugar adds a simple, transparent sweetness to fragrances. Unlike caramel or honey, pure sugar reads as almost odorless but amplifies the sweetness of surrounding notes. It is often used as a modifier rather than a lead note, pushing compositions toward the sweeter side of their spectrum.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Precious Woods
Precious Woods
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
White Musk
White Musk
Clean, soft, and slightly soapy, white musk is the scent of fresh laundry and warm skin. It's the furthest from the animalic origins of real musk: approachable, inoffensive, and universally flattering. Almost every mass-market fragrance uses white musk as a base, which is why it reads as 'clean' rather than specifically musky.
