Bois D’Encens

Bois d’Encens, a Smoky Incense and Cedar

Armani Prive Bois d’Encens is a smoky incense and cedar scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot and aldehydes before a pure incense heart settles over cedar, vetiver, and warm woods.

The Story Behind the Scent

Armani built Bois d’Encens as part of the Prive collection, all clean incense smoke and dry cedar. The idea was a refined, almost meditative calm.

That smoky refinement is its appeal. The bergamot and aldehydes give it a soft lift, the incense sits at the heart, and the cedar and vetiver keep it dry and elegant. Our interpretation follows that same meditative path.
