Bois de Sauge
Yves Rocher (2020)

Yves Rocher is the weirdest fragrance maker ever. Some I love (Samarkand, Nature Millénaire pour Homme which smells like dirt), others I hate (Aztec, Comme une Evidence Green ). At first try I thought Bois de Sauge was dreadful and stored it away. Four years later, I found it and tried it again. Although all of the notes are definitely synthetic at first sniff, it eventually comes across as a pleasant if unremarkable green fougere. I cannot detect any patchouli. The dry down isn't bad at all. I wouldn't stock up on it. But I'll keep in the wardrobe.
