BOIS IMPERIAL EXTRAIT DE PARFUM

Bois Impérial Extrait de Parfum is the most intense and concentrated version of Essential Parfums' bestseller by Quentin Bisch: a unisex Extrait de Parfum at 32%, double the concentration of the original Eau de Parfum, in a 30 ml bottle.

The Fragrance

If Bois Impérial is the bright face of Quentin Bisch's composition, the Extrait is its nocturnal side: the same woody-aromatic structure reinterpreted with greater intensity, darker and denser, designed for those who already love the Eau de Parfum and want to discover an even more enveloping, sensual version of it.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening ignites with Thai Basil and Nepalese Timut Pepper, enriched in this version with Pink Pepper and Black Pepper for a bolder spicy lift. The heart keeps Haitian Vetiver and Georgywood, joined here by Atlas Cedar and Rose, which add woody roundness and a floral touch that never turns sweet. The base closes on Akigalawood and Indonesian Patchouli, deepened by Balsam Fir and Labdanum: a resinous, amber, enveloping foundation that lingers on the skin for hours.

Who We Recommend Bois Impérial Extrait de Parfum To

We recommend it to anyone who already knows Bois Impérial and is looking for a more intense, evening-ready experience, as well as to lovers of woody fragrances with a bold character and a noticeable trail. Perfect for colder seasons or for occasions where you want a fragrance that leaves a mark.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

It's not often that an extrait truly earns its place next to an already-beloved bestseller, but this one does: you can tell right away it isn't just "stronger," it's genuinely deeper, with a density that invites you to wear it sparingly. Anyone who already owns the Eau de Parfum will find in this Extrait one more reason to fall for it all over again.

Similar Fragrances

• New Leather Extrait de Parfum, New Notes — the same Extrait concentration and several shared notes (pink pepper, labdanum, patchouli, vetiver), with a suede accord that leans into its darker, more sensual side.
• Tabac Rose, BDK Parfums — shares pink pepper, rose, labdanum and patchouli in a more gourmand, tobacco-forward key, for anyone who loves Bois Impérial Extrait's amber-woody register.
• Freakincense, Coreterno — pink pepper, patchouli and labdanum in a more resinous, incense-driven accord, ideal for those seeking an equally enveloping base with a smokier soul.

FAQ

How does the Extrait differ from the original Eau de Parfum?
Beyond the doubled concentration (32% versus the EdP's 16%), the Extrait keeps the woody-aromatic backbone of the original but enriches it with darker, more resinous notes, for a more intense, longer-lasting result.

Is Bois Impérial Extrait different from the Collector Edition too?
Yes: the Collector Edition is the same 2020 Eau de Parfum in a collectible bottle, while the Extrait is a composition in its own right, with its own concentration and note pyramid, designed for those looking for a more intense experience rather than just different packaging.

Who is a fragrance with Extrait concentration like this one suited to?
It's suited to anyone who loves a denser trail and long-lasting presence on the skin, and to those who prefer a few targeted sprays over generous application, given the higher concentration of essences.
