Pros & Cons
- ✅ Bois des Iles is one of the most perfect fragrances ever created. It is really hard to believe that this beauty was created in 1926...
- ✅ Bois des Iles was not an easy love for me. It asked for patience and a little trust and rewarded me with quiet majesty.
- ✅ Awesome unisex classy blend. Clean soft powdery and creamy sandalwood with ylang tonka and aldehides. Addictive Masterpiece imo.
- ✅ Timeless Beauty... Bois des Iles is one of the most perfect fragrances ever created.
- ❌ Bois des Iles is like an old evening gown unearthed from a forgotten trunk... the aldehydes hit me with the enthusiasm of a runaway champagne cork.
- ❌ Although this new version seems to me well thought out and executed, it gives an impression that the perfume in exchange part of its soul for usability.
- ❌ An Echo From the Past... the aldehydes hit me with the enthusiasm of a runaway champagne cork... Too dated, too distant, too steeped in a past that isn’t mine.
- ❌ First sniff? Classic powdery Chanel aldehydes... But also kind of... forgettable... There’s something sour underneath — plasticky... Rating: 3/10 – unique, but unpleasant
