Bois D’Argent was first released in 2004 as part of the Colognes collection curated by creative director Hedi Slimane, done by perfumer Annick Menardo. It was released in an EDP concentration in 2010, which was reformulated in 2018 signed by in-house perfumer Francois Demachy. It was reformulated again in 2022, by Francis Kurkdjian, who had become the in-house perfumer for Dior in that year.

‘NAME
Bois d’Argent is the olfactory translation of Dior allure. A name that has become iconic. It is a unisex fragrance that creates its own story and invites you to do the same.

CHARACTER
Bois d’Argent is an iconic and mysterious fragrance. Feminine, masculine? It doesn’t take sides: it is a fragrance that arouses desire and curiosity.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURE
Bois d’Argent is a contrasting fragrance. Its Iris heart is the light in a smoky swirl of Incense.

COLOUR
The vaporous white of smoky Incense blends with the golden sheen of the Iris heart.

FAMILY
Sensual. Bois d’Argent combines masculine Iris with feminine Incense. Its fragrance invites you to dress yourself in a soft elegance.

INTENSITY
Bois d’Argent is a powerful scent you love sensing nearby. Its sensuality, wrapped in a mystical smoky quality, gives the fragrance a strikingly unforgettable personality.’- Dior

‘Feminine or masculine? Bois d’Argent doesn’t take sides: it’s like a white shirt that anyone can wear. It’s finely-honed, Dior allure is accompanied by an iconic trail that becomes one with the skin. The fragrance has the elegance of Iris absolute that blends with sensual Musks plunged into mysterious smoky Incense. It is a contrasted composition that plays on a noble floral and taut softness.’ – Francois Demachy
