    Real talk

    Bois Iridescent is the quiet one in the room. It doesn't announce itself or fill a space, it exists around you, a shimmer rather than a statement. The iris is powdery and elegant.Bois Iridescent
    Sweet-woody with an edge. For someone who wants vanilla without the obvious, almond without the pastry. The mineral and pepper give it a pulse beneath the warmth. A quiet luxury, not a statement.Bois Doré
