Roger & Gallet Bois d'Orange Wellbeing Fragrant Water 100ml is a cocktail of fresh, freshly picked citrus that brings a smile to the face, enhanced by the woody sensuality of bergamot. It is a member of the Fragrant Wellbeing Water series, which treats fragrance as a wellness experience and not just an accessory.
In a 100ml bottle, it is intended for those who want a sunny, daily signature fragrance, sprayed without a second thought every time they leave the bathroom.
Bois d'Orange means "orange wood" in French. The orange tree is one of the most generous trees for perfumery, because almost every part of it provides different raw material. The peel of the fruit yields the well-known, cheerful orange distillate. Petitgrain is produced from the leaves and small branches, with a greener, woody character. Finally, neroli is derived from the flowers.
The name therefore refers to the whole tree and not just the fruit: to the freshness of the juice, but also to the solid, warm feeling of the trunk and branches. This woody side is taken up in the composition by bergamot, a plant from Southeast Asia whose dried leaves give a deep, earthy distillate.
All the scented waters in this family have natural plant extracts in their composition, to which the brand attributes beneficial virtues for body and mind. Roger & Gallet, which has over a century and a half of life since it started in 1862, prefers pure, simple compositions, where nature has the first word. In Bois d'Orange this is evident in the short, clear list of notes: fruit and wood, nothing more.
Those who love citrus but find simple lemon colognes too fleeting. Bergamot gives Bois d'Orange more character, making it suitable for all seasons. In summer it acts as a refreshing scent, while in winter it reminds of the oranges that smell throughout the house. Although it is classified as a feminine fragrance, the combination of fruit and wood often appeals to men too.
The art of fragrance at Roger & Gallet: spray into the air to create a perfume cloud in front of you and then walk through it. This way the Bois d'Orange spreads evenly and gives a sense of vitality from the first moment.
A shower gel or a body cream in the same scent can lay the foundation before spraying, so that the scent of orange follows you as you pamper yourself. Another evening cloud revives the citrus, which evaporates faster by nature.
In French it means "orange wood", a name that conveys the combination of fresh citrus and woody base.
An aromatic plant from Asia, whose leaves give a distillate with an earthy, woody smell. Here it gives depth to the citrus.
The top note is indeed fresh, but bergamot makes it more complex and mature than a simple fruity cologne.
Both come from the world of the orange tree. Neroli is the distillate of its flowers, while Bois d'Orange focuses on citrus and wood.
In 100ml for daily use and in a smaller 30ml bottle.
