Pros & Cons
- ✅ Soft, warm comfort, like je nutmeg and cardamom in hot milk.
- ✅ There’s nothing else like this perfume. When I crave sandalwood, this is the scent I return to at any time of day, in any season.
- ✅ Bois de Iles has a meditative, serene quality that is calming, centering and peaceful.
- ✅ This remains one of the most luxurious sandalwood fragrances.
- ❌ A nice sandalwood that I wish was more wood and less ylang.
- ❌ I really dislike the constant comparisons people make between this and Egoiste. This smells nothing like Egoiste.
- ❌ First sniff? Classic powdery Chanel aldehydes. ... But also kind of... forgettable. ... The longer it sits, the worse it gets for me.
