Bois d'Argent Clones

"### Scent Breakdown Fragrance World's Bois d'Argent opens with a blast of iris and cypress, trying hard to capture that Dior magic. It gets close, maybe 95%, but there's a slightly sharper, more synthetic edge in the juniper. The heart of myrrh and patchouli is where this clone shines. It's warm, comforting, and very similar to the original, if a tad less nuanced. The drydown is a pleasant mix of woody notes, honey, and vanilla. However, the vanilla here is a bit more pronounced, making it sweeter than Dior's version. ### How Long Does it Last? This isn't a beast mode fragrance, but it performs respectably . Expect about 6-7 hours of longevity on skin, projecting moderately for the first 2 hours before settling closer. On clothes, it sticks around longer, easily making it through a workday. ### Conclusion Overall, Fragrance World’s Bois d'Argent is a solid clone . The slightly sweeter dry down is the main difference. But for a daily driver that scratches the same itch, this is a fantastic option. If you're sensitive to synthetic openings, sample first. But for most, this is a safe blind buy if you enjoy iris-based fragrances."

"### First Impressions & Dry Down Bois Dores Privezarah is Paris Corner's take on Dior's Bois d'Argent, and it's a respectable effort. The opening gives you a blast of iris – powdery and slightly rooty, just like the original. You get a piney, slightly medicinal cypress note too, which adds a masculine edge that persists longer than in the Dior. The heart brings in myrrh, incense-like, and a grounding patchouli. It’s a touch rougher around the edges, a bit more synthetic than Bois d'Argent. Where it differs most is the drydown. It leans heavier on the honey and vanilla, making it sweeter and less subtle. I'd say it's around 88% similar, but with a sweeter, less refined base. ### Is it Worth It? Bois Dores Privezarah is a solid choice. If you love the idea of Bois d'Argent but balk at the Dior price tag, this is a great daily alternative. It’s not a perfect match, especially if you're obsessed with the nuances of the original's drydown, but it captures the essence. If you prefer a sweeter, longer-lasting scent, you might even prefer this over the original. ### Wear time & Sillage The performance is where this clone shines. Expect 6-8 hours on skin, projecting moderately for the first 2 hours. It becomes a skin scent after that, but a pleasant one. It definitely outperforms my sample of the current Dior formulation, which fades much quicker."
