The review
Silver Wood scores 6.3 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Bois d'Argent.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bois d'Argent's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $117 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Bois d'Argent — the 3rd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Dior Bois d'Argent is aldehydes, bergamot and honey at first, iris, lily of the valley and myrrh at its heart and incense, amber and leather at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Honeyed iris and pale incense, cool and gauzy like brushed silver.
