Gender: Unisex
Mood: Sophisticated, refined, effortlessly elegant

Key Notes:
- Juniper Berries – Crisp, slightly piney, evoking the tailored sharpness of a flannel blazer

Fragrance Profile:
Bois Dormant is the daytime counterpart to black tie elegance, inspired by the understated luxury of an English double-breasted flannel blazer—a signature Hedi Slimane piece. The fresh citrus and juniper opening lead into a soft, powdery orris heart, creating a sensation of well-worn cashmere or a perfectly tailored wool suit. The cedar and vetiver dry down is clean yet warm, embodying the quiet confidence of timeless sophistication.
Perfect for:
- Lovers of classic, refined woody fragrances with a powdery twist
- Those who appreciate subtle yet long-lasting elegance
- A signature scent for daytime business meetings, formal occasions, or effortlessly chic everyday wear
Bois Dormant is not just a fragrance—it’s an olfactory interpretation of timeless menswear, where tradition meets modernity in the most effortless way.

I love the scent of this, similar to Dior Homme's . Not sure if anyone is getting minimal projection on skin like me?
Yes it’s transparent to a fault yea it’s a light wear but it projects we’ll believe it or not and lasts a good amount of time on skin. So I had a friend wear this to see if it was detectable when worn by others and it does the job. As for the smell this sits in the same wheelhouse as Prada lhomme Bois dargent and Dior homme although done more in a transparent fashion that in my opinion is very well done. The iris here is more woody than what we see in Dior I’d swear there is a small amount of vanilla to sweeten this up but just a touch. The juniper adds a nice greenness to the scent that is short lived and the vetiver is soft and sort of the type you would find in ELDO fat electrician but toned down. I do wish this had a bit more presence on skin but for what it is I’ll take it. It smells amazing.
I owned Le Peau Nue but didn't like the combination of vetiver and rose. Here, though it somehow seems to work better. The fulcrum is the cedar it just blends better with vetiver than a sweet powdery rose IMO. The orris tames down the masculine effect and gives it just enough gentleness for a woman to wear. It feels like a chic Parisienne wearing an oversized, pin stripe men's suit in the coolest way.
I have this beauty for few months now and I think I am ready to write something about it. I think that this perfume might indeed contain some real orris butter, because when I smell it next to my orris absolute they smell very similar! As the name suggests Bois Dormant is more woody take on orris, opening is little bit fresh citrusy and later white orris butter and iso e super/cedar creates dusty, powdery, woody sensation. I think that this may seems simple, but orris has many facets from powdery, woody to leathery. Projection isn’t huge as others have mentioned, it is rather subdued as many orris/iris scents.
First spray especially on clothes is a slightly sweet, rich, juniper rooty orris/cedar combo, that classic Celine DNA. But up close on skin, you can get a pepper cumin borderline BO smell (like, cumin normally lol) but I don't hate it - it's kinda fascinating paired with the sweet iris/cedarwood and makes it interesting. And then, sometimes because of the bergamot it smells like a rich olive oily citrus soap on top of that. I love all the directions it takes.
