Discover Bois Bélize Intense by NICOLAÏ, a Unisex Intense Eau de Parfum inspired by the tropical forests of Belize. Bergamot, osmanthus absolute and ambrette seed absolute create the opening before rose, cardamom and clove emerge at the heart, settling into guaiac wood, patchouli, maté, vetiver, oakmoss and musk.
NICOLAÏ describes Bois Bélize as a smoky tea accord wrapped in precious woods. Bright bergamot meets guaiac wood and maté leaves, creating an elegant exotic bitterness, while rose, cardamom, clove and oakmoss introduce aromatic spice. Perfumer Patricia de Nicolaï drew inspiration from the lush, untamed character of tropical forests and their richly textured woods.
Released in 2020, Bois Bélize Intense was created by Patricia de Nicolaï and is documented by specialist references as a Unisex Woody Aromatic fragrance.

Rose provides refined floral softness, cardamom introduces fresh aromatic spice, and clove adds warm, distinctive intensity, creating a sophisticated contrast between floral elegance and spice.
