Oro 1920 by Bois 1920: Notes, Longevity and Review

Oro 1920 by Bois 1920 is an eau de parfum from 2013, presented in a 100ml bottle and the fragrance that launched the house's Oro Collection. It is a dark, smoky leather built on raspberry and ginger up top, iris and May rose in the heart, and a base of leather, tobacco, and vanilla.

What Does Oro 1920 by Bois 1920 Smell Like?

Oro 1920 smells like smoke, fruit, and old leather. It opens with raspberry, ginger, incense, and fir, an odd and magnetic combination, then the heart brings May rose, iris, and guaiac wood with osmanthus and opoponax. The drydown is deep and warm: leather, tobacco, vanilla, beeswax, and benzoin.

Notes, Concentration, and Performance

Released in 2013, Oro 1920 was the first fragrance in the Oro Collection, the house's line inspired by gold in all its forms. The composition treats leather as a precious material, surrounding it with resins and a honeyed beeswax warmth.

• Top notes: raspberry, ginger, incense, and fir
• Heart notes: May rose, iris, guaiac wood, osmanthus, and opoponax
• Base notes: benzoin, leather, vanilla, beeswax, and tobacco

In terms of wear, Oro 1920 is a typical well-made eau de parfum: present for hours, never shouty, with a leather, tobacco, and vanilla base that outlasts the brighter top notes. On fabric it lasts even longer.

Best For

Oro 1920 is an autumn and winter evening fragrance. The smoke, leather, and tobacco need cold air to breathe, and the composition has the weight for formal occasions and late nights.
