This is one of my best summer scents. Uncommon smell, ozonic, citrusy, green, spicy but very smooth, versatile, refreshing and uplifting, everything. It reminds me slightly the Creed Millésime Impérial but it goes to different direction, more playful and vivid. And I get mild vibes from Givenchy Insense Ultramarine & Kenzo pour Homme. It smells more expensive than it is. Excellent performance for a warm weather scent with moderate sillage. At the opening for a few minutes the projection is heavy. After that it looses power suddenly and become a moderate one.
Dominant notes are : citruses (bergamot & lime mainly with mild lemon, smooth citruses though, rare quality), strong but smooth rhuburb, very strong mate, strong green tea, mild geranium and very strong hyacinth, very mild juniper, the rest notes are very mild. At the late dry down there’s nice white musk which blends perfectly with the smooth caracter of the scent and sandalwood. I do not get violet leaf but there is a faint violet vibe. Tea is the key factor here.
An elegant summer scent with a luxurius vibe. Not unique or groungbreaking but masterfully blended with high quality feeling. Highly recommended.

This opens with a rounded, sweet, juicy, fruity accord. I detect primarily lime, tea, and that fruity accord (presumably rhubarb mixed with the other citruses). I don’t get any of the sharpness that I usually find with citrus-heavy fragrances, though perhaps there is a touch of tang from the rhubarb. I think lime is probably the only note I would have been able to pick out, had I not seen the list on Fragrantica.
On my skin, it doesn’t evolve much from there. It is pretty linear, but pleasant. Longevity is impressive for a fresh scent with lots of citrus, although I find the projection and sillage difficult to assess, since it is one of those fragrances that seems to go AWOL periodically before reappearing again randomly.
What is most striking about this fragrance to me is the *feel* of it: soft and billowy and diffusive. It feels like a cool mist settling on my skin. To me, this texture pulls it a bit toward the feminine side, but overall I would say this is quite gender-neutral.
The combination of the diffusiveness, the come-and-go sillage, and the excellent longevity (for a freshie) all point toward what is likely an extensive use of synthetics in this fragrance. However, I wouldn’t say that it smells “artificial,” which I associate with harsh edges and metallic tints. This is the opposite of harsh. OTOH, I wouldn’t say that it is natural-smelling, either, since it seems rather abstract and impressionistic in style, whereas I think of “natural” smelling fragrances as more realistic renditions of source materials.
Overall, it’s a pleasant and relatively long-lasting fresh and sweet type of fragrance, but not especially groundbreaking. It’s kind of a “meh” for me, although I’m going to keep using my decant throughout the summer, and we’ll see if my feelings change as the hotter months move in.

“Memories of endless thoughts unfold before the sea, where anything disappears. Only quietness remains.” This is something uniquely interesting. It’s lovely. It’s by the sea. It’s in the open air. It’s deep in the earth. It starts vibrantly, salty and bright with citrus and mellows into something sweeter and floral. It is a cool toned scent, like relaxing against a cool window with a cup of hot tea, well balanced. 7.5/10

This is an excellent summer cologne with the usual suspects of citrus and neroli being replaced by rhubarb and tea. The rhubarb gives this one an especially zingy twist and great freshness. The drydown blends in easily with a woody and musky feeling, but still keeps the scent light. The bergamot and white musk ambergris gives me a feeling that this is a pimped version of Mugler’s Cologne with high quality ingredients.
Very good longevity for a fresh summer scent, I got a good 7-8 hours from it. Highly recommended.

The other reviews are about right. This isn’t my kind of scent at all – I’d rather wear a dollar store scent that is more to my liking, to be honest (and I’m sure some people feel that way about the scents that I like most). For example, for a scent with a tea-like quality I’d go for Bulletproof or White Tea by L’Occitane.

Outstanding fragrance!….fruity, with a bit of a woodsy base. Somewhat reminds me of D&G l’imperatrice but with more cedar or at least what smells like cedar. Both men and women will adore this!! Sillage is confusing, at points throughout the fragrance where you think that you cannot detect this, however, every so often you get a whiff and determine its still there. Longevity is great; 6-8 hours flat! In fact, I just purchased a backup bottle just in case…

Equal weight in the first sniff, between a strong tea note and a bergamot/lemon accord, which together give a tang. Be warned: the green lemon and bergamot combine, to give that citrus peel note like male sweat, especially in the first 15 mins, and it can smell downright odd on a woman. I persisted, noting that Bois’ card stated “for men” although on this page, it’s Unisex. Anyhow the rhubarb appears after a few more minutes, then the whole thing becomes gentler, with more tea, a hint of floral and a hint of musk. Quiets down as a seamless blend, no progression after that. I’ll pass, but fans of bergamot/tea may want to give it a try…..

i could smell this fragrance before i even walked into the store, i go up to the fragrance counter and ask the guy what it was and he pointed towards this and said half the associates in the store were wearing this, it was the day it was re-released. anyways i tried a sample and i was in love, this is the best Tea fragrance ever and it smells so classy luxurious and sexy at the same time. its pretty under rated and not as mainstream which i love about it because no one knows what im wearing even when i tell them. its so exclusive i love it. bottle 0346/1920

The 2 reviews are a perfect summary of my opinion: it is a wonderful smell but more masculine than feminine. You can wear it especially when it is warm/hot outside. Bois 1920 never disappoints me – so far. I like the well balanced composition of fruits and the somewhat tangy ingredients – nothing is overpowering; just a pleasant smell.

Tried this at Barneys, where I was told it was a limited edition. It has amazing staying power, seemed to last at least 8 hours after it was sprayed!
Smelled tangy and wonderful, definitely made my head turn at first. The sales guy mentioned a tea ingredient which I don’t see listed here, but could definitely smell an influence like that.
I liked it, but I didn’t fall in love with it, but it is a beautifully well done scent, just wasn’t my particular thing.

I did not like this scent at all. I think it is more for a man, than a woman. You can buy this scent at Barneys. It is a lovely bottle.
