Bois d'Argent

Maison Christian Dior · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2004

≈ $260 · 125ml · approx. retail

A soft, luminous woody scent that balances cool iris and juniper with warm honey, myrrh and creamy vanilla. It smells like polished silvery wood wrapped in resin and skin-like musk, quiet and refined rather than loud.
