Atelier des Ors Bois Sikar Eau de Parfum 100ml is a richly textured smoky-tobacco unisex composition from the Grasse-based niche house Atelier des Ors. Composed in 2018 by perfumer Marie Salamagne, it evokes the smoky peaty character of an Islay single malt whisky — paired with the leather and tobacco of a fine cigar. Precious woods and nutmeg open it; a heart of styrax, guaiac wood and cedar leaves follows; a base of tobacco leaf and Java vetiver anchors the trail.

Who it's for
Bois Sikar is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to smoky, smouldering tobacco-and-wood fragrances over fresh aquatic or sweet gourmand styles. It is at its best in autumn and winter evenings, ideal for late dinners, social occasions and any context where a fragrance with statement-projection is welcome. If you wear Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir or Frédéric Malle Musc Ravageur, Bois Sikar sits comfortably alongside them with a more smoky-whisky-and-cigar signature.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- Two sprays of an EDP is plenty; the tobacco-vetiver base projects strongly and lasts well into the next day.
- For a longer scent trail, mist lightly onto a wool jacket, scarf or coat lining — natural fibres carry smoky-tobacco fragrances especially well.
Size: 100ml. Presented in Atelier des Ors's signature heavy-glass flacon with floating 23-carat gold flakes suspended in the juice.
