Bois des Iles by Chanel, to me, is another gem from the Les Exclusifs de Chanel range. It starts just like the No. 5 (the parfum version) with amplified ylang ylang note and quite bit woodiness mingled with patchouli sweetness, in a slightly powdery fashion. It smells of opera to me; it is as if from a totally different area and still stands there proud.
After a while, Bois des Iles gets warmer and closer to the skin, with this kind of watered-down mixture of non-smokey incense and sweetness, which somewhat reminds me a lot of those old fashioned white soap, minuses the soapiness.
Bois des Iles is a refined, grande perfume with this golden charm. Somehow, I find it along the line with Miss Dior and Opium, but less out-spoken. On the right person, it will shine.
