The Power of Symbolism
Christian Dior’s life was guided by a belief in the influence of symbols. A small wooden talisman, carefully hidden within the linings of his suits, represented his faith in protection and fortune. Francis Kurkdjian incorporates his own ritual into this story, carrying a sugar cube as a personal emblem of meaning. Bois Talisman brings these traditions together, expressing their significance through an olfactory narrative.
This fragrance captures the philosophy that objects and rituals hold profound value when they are tied to deeply personal stories. Every element of Bois Talisman reflects this belief, translating heritage and artistry into a sensory experience.
The Composition: Precision and Depth
Bois Talisman is centered around two key ingredients: cedar and vanilla. The composition achieves balance through a meticulous focus on the qualities of these elements.
- Cedar provides a dry and smooth aroma, with resinous undertones that evoke strength and stability.
- Vanilla introduces layers of warmth, exploring facets of creaminess and spice that add richness to the fragrance.
The interplay between these notes creates an immersive scent that evokes both elegance and comfort. The simplicity of the composition allows each note to shine fully, creating an experience that resonates deeply.
Packaging and Presentation
Bois Talisman is offered in 50ml, 100ml, and 200ml Eau de Parfum bottles.
