A luxurious fragrance composed around an understated formula. A woody, balmy-leathery, almost mystical essence, where frankincense mingles with myrrh and iris absolute.

At a glance

Luxury, classicism and audacity. When the most stunning essences meet the creative genius of Hedi Slimane, Dior presents the sumptuous ‘Bois d’Argent’.

History

Bois d’Argent is a truly luxurious essence in the 18TH-century tradition. Like Cologne Blanche and Eau Noire, it was designed by Hedi Slimane, head of Dior Homme’s ready-to-wear line. His creative genius, a blend of bold understatement and urban chic, make him one of the trendiest couturiers on the planet. For Dior, he has come up with three essences, three Colognes combining tradition, allure and true luxury. Everything about the concept is architectural: the bottles, immense cylinders of glass with lacquered caps; the luxurious packages of Bristol board with Louis XVI moldings; and the fragrances themselves. Cologne Blanche woody, leathery and sumptuous. An essence that will be adopted by both men and women. Available exclusively from Dior Homme points of sale.

Range

Eau de Cologne, 4.25, 8.5 and 17 oz., Scented candles

Bottle

A cylindrical bottle with a traditional shape, topped with a thick, heavy, black-lacquered cap. This latter echoes the pleats Hedi Slimane came up with for Dior Homme’s tuxedo jackets. As for the juice, it flaunts a pale gold hue. Understated but obvious luxury.
