Cannabis
by Bois 1920
Cannabis by Bois 1920 delivers a bold, green herbal character that captures the essence of sun-baked leaves and dusty forest air. The opening is sharp and synthetic, with a dense green note that evokes fresh cannabis foliage, often described as realistic but less sweet or pungent than expected. Over time, the fragrance mellows into a dry, clean, slightly soapy base with lingering herbal depth - reminiscent of vetiver, lime, and lemon. It feels like a modern herbal cologne, with a bracing clarity that stands out in warm weather. Despite its name, it doesn't smell like a traditional marijuana scent; instead, it evokes a juxtaposition of freshness and green intensity, inspiring comparisons to classic citrus-herbal eau de colognes and older fragrances like Signoricci. Longevity is moderate to long, with strong sillage in the moderate range. The scent is best suited for spring and summer daytime wear, particularly in late summer or early fall when the air feels charged with coming storm energy.
