Le Bois de Boulogne — not for everyone
Updated: Aug 31
Chilini Private
There is a park that looks respectable in a guidebook. Those who know have long called it the Garden of Earthly Delights — and they understand what stands behind the name. The niche fragrance Le Bois de Boulogne by Edgardio Chilini is made for anyone who looks for more than shade in a wood. It is haughty and strict, hot and at the same time tender. That is how it is with places that keep two reputations.
Very much “not for everyone”.
On a grey day it holds a quiet state around you — a shell you can enter and not explain. Spice and flowers stand on a smoky ground. The group is woody. From that comes the peace that seekers of adventure looked for in this forest. Not everyone will go in. Those who do usually already know why.
What sets it apart
Wood with spice and smoke, strict and soft at once. On a grey day it holds calm around you. Le Bois de Boulogne is a selective perfume for anyone who needs a forest of that kind.
