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.
