Bois des Îles
Chanel Bois des Îles has been doing this since 1926, and nobody has done aldehydes better since.
How it moves
The first breath is aldehydes, bergamot, peach and coriander, and it is loud about it. Iris, jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang are where it actually lives. It dries down to sandalwood, vetiver, Tonka Bean, benzoin and musk, close to the skin and hard to forget.
Who made it
Ernest Beaux composed it in 1926, for Chanel in France. Ernest Beaux's 1926 sandalwood aldehydic, one of the first Western perfumes to build a composition around Mysore sandalwood.
