PRODUCT DETAILS

Wood Royal is an eau de parfum, 50 ml, with around 20% fragrance oil. It costs an affordable €25, the same as every scent in the range, whatever the original behind it. From €49 the shipping is on us, and delivery runs 2 to 5 working days.

Bois Impérial itself is sold as an eau de parfum, with an extrait version at the top of the range, so Wood Royal sits at the concentration most people reach for day to day - denser than an eau de toilette, without going as heavy as an extrait de parfum.

Longevity is 6 to 9 hours. Handmade in small batches with French oils, and nothing is tested on animals. Fifteen days to swap Wood Royal for something else if it does not suit you.

NOTES

Top notes

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Wood Royal is our alternative to Essential Parfums Bois Impérial, made for anyone who loves that sharp, peppery opening and wants it as an everyday scent rather than a rare treat. It opens on basil and pepper, moves into a vetiver and petalia heart (or middle notes, if that's the term you prefer), and settles into akigalawood, patchouli and ambroxan.

The basil and pepper hit first, green and a little spicy, more herb garden than fruit bowl. Once the vetiver takes over, the fragrance turns dry and woody, and by the drydown the akigalawood and ambroxan give it that smooth, almost polished finish the original Bois Impérial is known for. It smells like the original from the first spray, and reads unisex on most people, worn by men and women alike, sharper than most florals but never harsh.

Hier ist die Übersetzung:

I ordered the perfumes online and was very surprised by the extremely low price. I ordered four different fragrances.

When they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the attractive and high quality packaging. The scent of each fragrance was very similar to the original version.

However, after a very short time, I started experiencing allergic reactions. My nose became completely blocked, and I had difficulty breathing through it. I have never had such a physical reaction after using a perfume before.

As soon as I stopped using the fragrances, the allergic reaction disappeared immediately. This leads me to believe that the ingredients used in these products are of poor quality. In the end, that is probably reflected in the price.

I am extremely disappointed and will certainly not buy anything from this company again.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Wood Royal, inspired by: Bois Impérial, Essential Parfums - Chez Pierre perfume 50 ml

Inspired by: Bois Impérial, Essential Parfums

Wood Royal works well through most of the year, including summer evenings when the dry basil opening cuts through heat better than a heavier scent would, and the dry, woody base means it never feels out of place once the weather turns cooler in autumn and winter. One spray before you leave usually carries through a full day out.

This is one of our unisex scents, worn as much for him as for her, since the pepper and vetiver read more woody than obviously masculine or feminine. It suits anyone who prefers a sharper, drier fragrance over something sweet.

Choose our Inspiration

Essential Parfums is a French niche perfume house built around the idea of clean, high-concentration fragrance, and Bois Impérial is one of its most talked-about releases, with a strong following among luxury fragrance fans, men and women both, in a market crowded with niche perfumes chasing the same pepper accord. It leans on unusual, modern materials like akigalawood rather than the classic woods older brands reach for.

Most people just call it Bois Impérial rather than the full Essential Parfums name, and that shorthand is what shoppers hunting for a perfume dupe, a clone, or an alternative usually type into Google, alongside perfume dupes of other Essential Parfums fragrances. Reviews of Bois Impérial tend to focus on that first sharp burst of pepper more than anything that follows it.

Why choose us?

Wood Royal is our alternative to Essential Parfums Bois Impérial, one of the harder dupes to get right because the pepper accord is so distinctive. It is our own blend, built to smell similar to the original Bois Impérial and made with French fragrance oils, filled by hand in small batches.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, because that is where this dry, peppery composition sits best and stays strong through the day. If it is not similar to what you remember, send it back within 15 days and we will swap it.
