Bois Selenga by Première Note is a fragrance that transports you to the serene, mountainous landscapes of Mongolia, capturing the essence of the Selenga River's cool, fresh embrace. It opens with a vibrant and spicy burst, featuring the lively notes of pink pepper, bright bergamot, and aromatic cardamom, creating an immediate sense of invigorating freshness. As it develops, the heart reveals a sophisticated blend where the powdery elegance of iris meets the rich, classic beauty of rose, accented by the zesty, subtly peppery warmth of ginger. The scent then settles into a deep and comforting base, grounded by the mysterious, resinous warmth of olibanum, the refined strength of cedar, and the creamy, sensual sweetness of vanilla, leaving a lasting impression that is both woody and subtly floral.
