ART 1920

Bois 1920 presents Art 1920, a unisex Eau de Parfum with a woody-oriental character, in a 100 ml size: a contemporary, multifaceted interpretation of Oud, weaving together radiant fruity flashes with a deep, resinous woodiness.

The Fragrance

Art 1920 carries the maison's own name, as if meant to capture its most ambitious essence in a single fragrance. Bois 1920 builds a bold contrast here between the vibrancy of an almost kaleidoscopic fruity bouquet and the solemnity of a noble woody base, in a fragrance with a magnetic, uncompromising character.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is a fruity, spicy kaleidoscope: Saffron and Violet Leaves weave together with Green Tea and Bergamot, while Grapefruit, Apple, Peach, Plum, Mango, Raspberry, Melon, Blackberry, Blackcurrant, Passion Fruit and Guava build an almost uninterrupted burst of juiciness. The heart settles into Orange Blossom, Sambac Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Rose and Iris, a luminous white bouquet that bridges into the base. That's where Art 1920 reveals its true nature: Oud Wood and Sandalwood merge with Patchouli, Cedarwood and Labdanum, while Incense and Leather add depth and character, and Vanilla, Tonka Bean, White Musk, Siam Benzoin and Grey Amber wrap everything in a warm, resinous embrace.

Who We Recommend Art 1920 To

A fragrance for those who love woody-oriental scents with a bold character, capable of surprising with an unusually rich fruity opening before revealing a base of precious woods. Perfect for anyone looking for an unconventional Oud, luminous rather than dark, it's the choice for those who want to stand out even among niche fragrance enthusiasts.

FAQ

Why is it simply called Art 1920?
The name directly echoes that of the Florentine maison itself, almost as if declaring that this fragrance represents its most authentic and ambitious expression: an olfactory manifesto designed to showcase the best of Bois 1920's perfumery art.

Why does an Oud open with so much fruit?
That contrast is exactly what makes Art 1920 recognizable: the burst of fresh, juicy fruit in the opening doesn't hide the Oud, it introduces it with an unexpected brightness, before the noble woods and resins take over in the base.

What occasions suit it best?
It's a substantial woody-oriental scent, well suited to evening wear and the cold season thanks to its resinous base, while staying surprisingly luminous in its first hours thanks to the fruity opening.
