You are drawn to nature, value your independence and prefer an understated style. A woody fragrance with fresh citrus and warm, softly sweet notes fits your taste.

🌳 Independent

You like to make your own choices, including the fragrance you wear. Rather than following a trend, you look for a scent that suits your preferences: the freshness of bergamot and lemon, the character of woods and the warmth of tonka bean.

🌿 Close to nature

Woodland scents and time outdoors appeal to you. BOIS 21 brings together cedar and vetiver with lavender, while vanilla and benzoin soften its woody character. It offers a natural eau de parfum for men who enjoy woods balanced by citrus and gentle sweetness.

🤎 Understated elegance

You prefer a personal style that feels comfortable and considered. In fragrance, you are drawn to the contrast between fresh notes and a warm base. Tonka bean adds vanilla and bitter-almond nuances, while benzoin brings a soft, balsamic quality with hints of caramel.

BOIS 21 is a woody eau de parfum for men. Calabrian bergamot and lemon form the top notes, followed by a lavender heart. Vetiver, tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin make up the base, with cedar contributing to the fragrance’s woody character.

🔴 Root Chakra — 1st Chakra

BOIS 21 takes its symbolic inspiration from Muladhara, the root chakra, represented by the colour red and located at the base of the spine. Its mantra, “I am solid and grounded,” offers a focus for a quiet moment. As you apply your fragrance, pause, notice your breathing and picture roots reaching into the earth.

Scent Profiles

Woody

🌲 Cedar

Wood that gives the fragrance structure

Cedar has a warm, slightly dry woody scent. It can recall timber warmed by the sun or the clean, familiar smell of a freshly sharpened pencil. These drier facets give a woody fragrance definition, offering a contrast to sweeter vanilla and balsamic notes.

In BOIS 21, cedar contributes to the woody character alongside vetiver. Its restrained warmth balances the softer qualities of tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin, beneath an opening of Calabrian bergamot and lemon and a lavender heart.

Different expressions of a woody material

Cedar materials do not all smell alike. Atlas cedar has a warm, resinous character with rounded, softly textured nuances. Virginia cedar is drier and more sharply defined, often recalling pencil wood. Texas cedar offers fuller woody facets with slightly smoky and subtly leathery accents.

These differences give perfumers a range of woody textures to work with. A dry cedar character can sharpen the outline of an accord, while warmer, resinous facets bring a softer depth. Together with other woods and resins, cedar can connect fresh notes with a warmer foundation.

Definition within a warm composition

Cedar is valued for the structure it gives a fragrance rather than sweetness alone. It can accompany floral and aromatic notes, provide a woody contrast to citrus and support resinous materials without obscuring their individual character.

In this natural eau de parfum for men, that contrast is central to the scent: citrus and lavender bring freshness, while cedar and vetiver give the warmer tonka, vanilla and benzoin notes a woody setting. The result combines dry woods with soft sweetness.

Scent character: Woody, warm, dry, slightly resinous

Role in BOIS 21: Contributes to the woody character alongside vetiver

🫘 Tonka Bean

Warm sweetness with more than one facet

Tonka bean brings a warm scent with almond, vanilla and hay-like nuances. Caramel, soft spice and balsamic accents add complexity to its sweetness. Rather than smelling simply of vanilla, it combines creamy warmth with drier facets that work particularly well beside woods.

In BOIS 21, tonka bean is one of the base notes, together with vetiver, vanilla and benzoin. Its almond and vanilla-like character softens the woody composition, adding warmth beneath the fresher bergamot, lemon and lavender notes.

A fragrant seed from South America

Tonka bean is the seed of Dipteryx odorata, a tree native to South America. The small seed is valued in perfumery for a scent that combines several impressions: sweet almond, dry hay, vanilla and gentle spice.

Its gourmand character describes these food-like scent associations. In a woody perfume, tonka does not need to dominate the composition or make it overtly sugary. Its softer facets can round off dry woods while its hay-like nuances retain a less sweet contrast.

Roundness in the base

Perfumers use tonka bean to connect woody, spicy, floral and amber accords. It brings continuity between materials with different textures, adding warmth to sharper notes and depth to sweeter ones. Its vanilla-like side also sits naturally alongside balsamic resins.

In BOIS 21, tonka links the woods with vanilla and benzoin. Vetiver and cedar provide the woody contrast, while tonka adds an almond-like softness. It is part of the fragrance’s warm foundation rather than its bright citrus opening.

Fragrance family: Gourmand

Scent character: Almond, vanilla-like, hay-like, balsamic

Fragrance note: Base

🍂 Benzoin

A warm resin with a soft scent

Benzoin brings a warm, balsamic scent with vanilla-like and lightly amber facets. Its sweetness can suggest caramel, but a resinous quality gives it a different texture from vanilla alone. Softly spicy nuances add depth to its rounded character.

In BOIS 21, benzoin is part of the base with vetiver, tonka bean and vanilla. It adds a soft resinous warmth to the woody fragrance, complementing tonka’s almond-like nuances and the separate vanilla note.

A resin rather than a vanilla ingredient

Benzoin is an aromatic resin obtained from trees of the Styrax genus. Its material character is richer and more balsamic than its familiar vanilla-like scent might suggest. Those resinous facets make it useful in perfumes that combine woods, spices and warmer notes.

The word balsamic describes a warm, sweet, resin-like fragrance character. In benzoin, this quality sits alongside vanilla-like and amber nuances, creating a soft contrast to the drier character of cedar and vetiver.

Softness that connects woods and sweetness

Benzoin can round off woody accords, soften spicy notes and bring warmth to floral compositions. It is particularly suited to combinations with vanilla and tonka bean, where its resinous character adds another layer rather than simply repeating their sweetness.

In this woody eau de parfum for men, benzoin helps connect the dry woods with the warmer base. Bergamot, lemon and lavender provide the fresh contrast, while benzoin, tonka bean and vanilla contribute the softer side of BOIS 21.

Aiméenolide®, an innovation inspired by nature

🌲 Three cedar materials, three scent characters

Cedar is a familiar name in perfumery, but different cedar materials have distinct scents. Atlas cedar has warm, resinous facets. Virginia cedar recalls freshly sharpened pencil wood, while Texas cedar offers fuller woody nuances with slightly smoky and subtly leathery accents.

The cedar materials used by Aimée de Mars come from Morocco for Atlas cedar and the United States for Virginia and Texas cedar. Cedar contributes to BOIS 21’s woody character alongside vetiver, contrasting with the softer warmth of tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin.

💧 A woody scent extracted from wood

Cedar essential oil is obtained by steam-distilling the wood. This draws out aromatic material from the timber rather than from the tree’s leaves or fruit. The resulting oils retain the different woody, dry and resinous facets associated with each cedar material.

In perfumery, cedar does more than add a woody smell. It gives definition to an accord and links other woods with fresher or sweeter notes. In BOIS 21, this woody character sits alongside a citrus opening, a lavender heart and a warm tonka, vanilla and benzoin base.

🫘 Tonka’s scent develops through preparation

Tonka bean is the seed of Dipteryx odorata, a South American tree. Aimée de Mars sources its tonka from Brazil. After harvesting, the beans undergo a drying and maturation process that develops their characteristic aroma.

Coumarin is an important part of that scent and can appear as small crystals on prepared beans. It gives tonka its distinctive connection with sweet hay, alongside the almond, vanilla and softly spicy impressions that make the material useful in perfumery.

🤎 Tonka bean is more than a vanilla-like note

Tonka can suggest almond, caramel, hay, soft spice and even light tobacco as well as vanilla. These are facets of its scent, not a list of separate ingredients. Its gourmand character describes those food-like associations, while the drier hay-like side keeps its aroma from being simply sweet.

In BOIS 21, tonka bean is a base note with vetiver, vanilla and benzoin. Its rounded warmth softens the woody character, while cedar and vetiver provide a contrast to its almond and vanilla-like facets.

🍂 Benzoin begins as a tree resin

Benzoin is an aromatic resin from trees of the Styrax genus. Incisions in the bark allow the resin to emerge; it then hardens before being collected and sorted. Aimée de Mars gives Laos and Indonesia as the origins of its benzoin material.

Its warm aroma combines balsamic, vanilla-like and amber facets, sometimes with caramel or gently spicy nuances. Although it can recall vanilla, benzoin is a different material: its resinous character adds another texture to BOIS 21’s warm base.

✨ A fragrance unfolds through overlapping notes

Top, heart and base notes describe the changing impressions of a fragrance. BOIS 21 opens with Calabrian bergamot and lemon, followed by lavender. Vetiver, tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin form the base, with cedar contributing to its woody character.

These stages overlap rather than switching abruptly from one to another. Trying the fragrance over time lets you discover more than its first citrus impression. The 1.5 ml sample offers a way to explore this natural eau de parfum for men on your own skin before choosing a 30 ml or 50 ml bottle.

⏳ Natural materials also help a fragrance last

Benzoin is valued in perfumery for its role as a fixative as well as its warm scent. Tonka bean also contributes depth and persistence to a composition. These materials help build the base of a fragrance, alongside the notes you notice first.

Aiméenolide® is Aimée de Mars’ natural fragrance-fixing blend, made from several essential oils and used in place of synthetic musk fixatives. BOIS 21 combines this approach with ingredients of 100% natural origin, organic undenatured wheat alcohol and spring water from Saint-Genulphe.
