Essential Parfums Bois Imperial EDP 100ml

By Quentin Bisch

“I created this fragrance around a precious and extraordinary wood: Akigalawood. Adorned with fresh spices, it is a great woody note of contrasts, between patchouli and Thai Basil. It is thrilling to create beauty, sensuality and excitement out of the invisible”. 

SENSUAL - WOODY - FRESH 

Freshly crushed and spicy Thai Basil leaves meet the sparkling peppery and grapefruit facets of Nepalese Timut Pepper absolute. A brilliant combination that contrasts perfectly with the bold woody signature of the fragrance. 

A green, rich and earthy Haitian Vetiver oil echoes with Georgywood – an exclusive molecule with powerful cedarwood tones. This vibrating woody association is illuminated by the sophisticated flowers of Petalia. 

Majestic Akigalawood truly signs the fragrance. This exclusive natural ingredient is upcycled from Patchouli through a biotechnology process. Its unique spicy-woody character is enhanced by a rich Indonesian Patchouli oil and a powerful, sustainable note of Ambrofix. 

Composition 

A sustainable Thaï basil and black pepper from Timut opens this fragrance followed by a sustainably produced Haitian Vetiver, and freesia notes by Petalia. The heart is built around the Akigalawood. This exclusive natural ingredient is upcycled from unused Patchouli parts, sustainably produced from Indonesia. It is upcycling. This sustainably produced Pathchouli from Indonesia brings spicy notes, together with a sustainable Ambrofix. Producers benefit from training in sustainable products methods to improve agricultural and distillation practices and reduce the impact on the environment. 

Perfumer 

Quentin Bisch’s energy makes the air around him electric as he talks about scents. This all- encompassing passion is what brought a music student and an artistic director of a performing company to perfumery. A one-month internship in Grasse was all it took to find his true vocation and then devote the next several years to studying fragrance composition. The arts continue to inspire Quentin. He creates perfumes in the same way he might direct a theatre performance using strong ideas, careful embellishments and surprising effects. 

He has been honored best perfumer in 2020. He signed fragrances for Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, Azzaro, Mugler, Chloe, Ex Nihilo, Etat Libre d’Orange…
