Bois d'Ascese – Eau de Parfum

Naomi Goodsir - BOIS D'ASCÈSE - Eau de Parfum 

"Bois d'Ascèse" by Naomi Goodsir conjures the introspective solitude of a nighttime campfire in the mountains. The crisp mountain air carries the essence of contemplative and enigmatic woods, emitting a warm and soothing, aromatic and spicy radiance. Tobacco and whiskey notes intertwine with the warmth of cinnamon and labdanum (rock rose). The enduring power and refinement of Somali incense are further accentuated by the presence of oakmoss and smoldering juniper.

This fragrance unfolds as a captivating narrative, akin to a smoky campfire tale, extending an invitation to wander into the autumn-winter forests and immerse oneself in introspection. Inspired by a wooden church nestled in the hills of New South Wales, Australia, amidst a blaze of fire in the surrounding landscape, "Bois d'Ascèse" serves as a poignant reminder of Naomi's childhood and a heartfelt tribute to her family's Scottish heritage.

Julien Rasquinet emerges as a noteworthy perfumer with a unique entry into the fragrance world, sparked by a serendipitous encounter between his father and the master perfumer Pierre Bourdon at an airport. Despite lacking formal training in perfumery but fueled by a profound passion for scents, Rasquinet reached out to Bourdon, who graciously took him on as his final student. This fortuitous meeting marked the inception of Rasquinet's career as a perfumer, where he absorbed the art of scent creation from one of the industry's luminaries.
