About This Perfume
Think Resinous fir balsam, pink rose, spiced pepper: that is Franck Boclet Fir Balsam. It opens with davana, cardamom and pink pepper, moves into fir balsam, may rose and patchouli and settles on benzoin, cistus absolute and vanilla. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits casual days. Released in 2015.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for casual days.
- Sample first if: resinous is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $148.
