Created by Dorothée Piot in 2018, BOIS DATCHAÏ by Maison Crivelli offers a distinctive take on the woody-green fragrance family through a contemporary and richly nuanced composition. Presented in a 100 ml Eau de Parfum (EDP), this unisex scent unfolds through contrast, moving between vegetal freshness, smoky depth and refined spice.
The opening brings together cassis, blackcurrant bud absolute and Virginia cedar, creating an introduction that feels vivid, leafy and slightly shadowed. From the very first moments, the fragrance sets up a dialogue between green, fruity and woody facets, resulting in an elegant and textured first impression. This is not a transparent freshness, but one with shape and presence, where the aromatic intensity of blackcurrant bud meets the dry sophistication of cedar.
At the heart, black tea absolute adds depth and an infused texture, while papyrus, guaiac wood and incense shape a more contemplative and mysterious mood. Together, these notes create a dry, woody and subtly smoky profile that expands the fragrance’s personality without disrupting its balance. The heart feels composed and expressive, offering a refined sense of atmosphere and a slow, immersive evolution on skin.
The base of patchouli, cinnamon and leather accord brings a denser and more polished finish. Patchouli lends earthy structure, cinnamon introduces a warm spicy accent, and the leather accord adds smooth texture and character. The result is a fragrance with a layered, modern identity—one that will appeal to those drawn to niche perfumery, nuanced compositions and signatures defined by contrast, depth and individuality.
