EDP · 2014 · unisex

Bois 1920 is an Italian niche house founded in 2014, built on the concept of creating fragrances inspired by historical woods and natural materials. The brand focuses on refined, understated compositions that prioritize raw materials over marketing narratives.

Verde Di Mare opens with a bracing burst of citrus and herbs, primarily bitter orange, lime, and bergamot, sharpened by juniper and pepper for a fresh spicy quality. The heart shifts into more aquatic territory with ozonic sea notes layered against black tea and floral touches of lily-of-the-valley and geranium, creating an aromatic marine effect that feels both botanical and slightly briny. The base settles into a soft woody amber with vanilla, ambergris, and musk, giving the fragrance a grounded finish that prevents it from feeling overly crisp or ephemeral.

This is a versatile unisex fragrance that works well for anyone seeking a clean, oceanic scent with substance. It's equally suited to casual daytime wear and more polished professional settings, and its aromatic structure makes it appealing across seasons, though it excels in warm weather. If you're drawn to fragrances like The Tactician, The Aristocrat, or The Homesteader, Verde Di Mare merits consideration.

Bitter Orange
Bitter Orange
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.
Juniper Berries
Juniper Berries
Dry, piney, and slightly citrusy, juniper is the botanical soul of gin, with a resinous, slightly spicy freshness that is entirely its own. In perfumery it adds a crisp, outdoorsy quality that bridges woody and spicy families. Used in masculine fragrances to evoke cold mountain air, stone trails, and bracing northern landscapes.
Pepper
Pepper
The most essential spice note in perfumery, encompassing the dry, woody heat of black pepper and its many relatives. Pepper adds edge, lift, and a masculine vitality to fragrances without sweetness. It is the note that stops a composition from feeling comfortable and safe, adding a confident, assertive character.
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.
Galbanum
Galbanum
One of perfumery's oldest raw materials, a bitter, intensely green resin with a cut-grass, slightly medicinal quality. It's the note that gives vintage green chypres their sharp, naturalistic edge. Galbanum alone is almost unpleasantly aggressive, but in a composition it adds a vivid green freshness that nothing else can match.
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.
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.

Sea Notes

Black Currant

Black Tea
Black Tea
Petitgrain
Petitgrain
Crisp, woody, and slightly bitter, petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, making it the green, herbal sibling of neroli and bergamot. It adds a clean, aromatic freshness to masculine fragrances in particular, with a slightly soapy, barbershop quality that is effortlessly wearable.
Lily-of-the-Valley
Lily-of-the-Valley
Carnation
Carnation
Spicy, clove-like, and slightly powdery, carnation is one of perfumery's oldest floral notes, with a warm, almost peppery character that distinguishes it from softer flowers. It has a vintage, slightly old-fashioned quality that is coming back into fashion. Think pressed flowers in an old book, warm and complex.
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.
Damask Rose
Damask Rose
The most storied rose variety in perfumery, Rosa damascena, grown primarily in Bulgaria and Turkey, produces an oil of unparalleled depth and complexity. It is simultaneously honeyed, spicy, and slightly green, with a richness no synthetic can fully match. When you smell 'rose' in a fine fragrance, this is most often what you're smelling.
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.
Ambergris
Ambergris
One of perfumery's most storied materials, a waxy substance produced by sperm whales with a uniquely salty, sweet, earthy quality. Real ambergris is nearly unobtainable; most perfumers use synthetic alternatives. It adds a marine warmth and incredible fixative quality, making fragrances smell more 'alive' and skin-like.
Woody Notes
Woody Notes
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
