Bois d'Ascèse by Naomi Goodsir captures the mysterious beauty of burning wood and sacred incense in a powerful, atmospheric fragrance. Created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, the composition draws inspiration from a secluded wooden church nestled in the hills of New South Wales, Australia, and the memories of Naomi Goodsir's Scottish heritage. Rich tobacco and warm whisky create an inviting introduction, while aromatic cinnamon adds a comforting spiciness. Precious Somali incense introduces a captivating smoky depth, beautifully complemented by the distinctive, almost charred character of cade wood.
As the fragrance develops, warm amber and resinous cistus labdanum create a rich, enveloping foundation, while earthy oakmoss adds natural depth and texture. The combination of smoky woods, aromatic tobacco, and warm resins evokes the peaceful intensity of a fire slowly burning beneath an open sky. Bold, contemplative, and beautifully unconventional, Bois d'Ascèse transforms the raw beauty of smoke and wood into a sophisticated fragrance that feels both powerful and deeply comforting.
