Bois Belize Intense is probably up there with New York Intense as my favorite Nicolai release so far.

Slightly green, but at the same time sort of warm. Woody, spicy, bitter, but offset by enough freshness in the opening.

A lot of moss and spices. This is one of the most classy types of fragrances I can think of. What makes this unique compared to many other spicy scents is the strong focus on the tea scent. It becomes a really great mix of fresher and more rugged tones. Has an outdoorsy feeling.

Scent and notes wise it reminds me a tiny bit of Etat Libre D’Orange Experimentum Crucis, an absolute love for me. But texture wise the Nicolai is more traditional. It also has less of a fruitiness and rose focus, but more of a spicy mossy one.
