At a glance
Created by Annick Menardo for Guerlain's L'Art et la Matiere collection, Bois d'Armenie opens on incense and iris, moves through a heart of guaiac wood and benzoin, and closes on benzoin and iris powder. Its title references the traditional French papier d'Armenie incense papers, and the composition evokes their distinctive smoky-resinous scent through a warm, benzoin-rich structure.
