EDP · 2011 · unisex

Bois 1920 is an Italian niche house founded in 2011, built around the concept of sustainable luxury and artisanal fragrance creation. The brand focuses on natural ingredients and traditional perfumery techniques, positioning itself as a thoughtful alternative to mainstream fragrance production.

Oltremare opens with a vibrant citrus blast of lime, bergamot, Amalfi lemon, and bitter orange that immediately establishes a fresh, zesty character. The heart shifts into more complex territory with tea and rhubarb adding tartness, while juniper, holly, and violet leaf create a green, slightly herbaceous spine. Geranium and hyacinth round out the middle notes with floral softness. The base settles into white musk, patchouli, and sandalwood, giving the fragrance grounding and subtle warmth without heaviness. Overall, this is a crisp aromatic with woody-green sensibilities and just enough spice to keep things interesting.

Oltremare works well for anyone seeking a versatile, intellectually composed fragrance that doesn't announce itself loudly. It's equally at home in professional settings or casual wear, with enough complexity to reward repeated wearings. The fresh opening makes it suitable year-round, though it shines in warmer months. If you gravitate toward The Tactician, The Aristocrat, and The Homesteader, Oltremare deserves your attention.

Lime
Lime
Crisper and greener than lemon, with a faint bitterness that keeps it from smelling like a cocktail mixer. Lime zest has a raw, almost herbaceous quality that pairs naturally with aquatic and green accords. It signals freshness and informality, the note of beach bars and gym-fresh colognes.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Amalfi Lemon
Amalfi Lemon
Grown on the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi lemons are unusually large and fragrant with a particularly sweet, aromatic rind and minimal bitterness. In perfumery they represent the idealized Italian lemon experience: luminous, floral-citrus, and vivid. The benchmark for high-quality lemon notes in classic Mediterranean fragrances.
Bitter Orange
Bitter Orange
Orange
Orange
Warm, round, and familiar, sweet orange is the most approachable of the citrus family. In perfumery it reads as sunlit and optimistic, with a gentle warmth that stops short of heaviness. Orange is frequently used to smooth and soften citrus openings, adding a natural sweetness that makes compositions feel immediately welcoming.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Tea
Tea
Green tea is cool, slightly astringent, and clean; black tea is earthier and slightly smoky. Both add a contemplative, refined quality to fragrances, the scent equivalent of a quiet afternoon. Tea notes bridge the gap between fresh and woody families and are a staple of minimalist, understated compositions.
Rhuburb
Rhuburb
Juniper
Juniper
Holly
Holly
Hyacinth
Hyacinth
Intensely green and floral with an almost sharp, piercing sweetness, hyacinth is one of spring's most assertive flowers. It has a cold, watery quality alongside its floral richness that makes it feel fresh and slightly dangerous. Polarising in perfumery because of its strength, but magical when well handled.
Geranium
Geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
Violet Leaf
Violet Leaf
Base · 3–12 hrs
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.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
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.
