A forest walk bottled in sleek modern form, Bois Datchaï opens with the tart snap of blackcurrant over the warmth of smoky tea, then glides into aromatic woods that feel polished yet alive, as if sun is lifting mist from cedar and papyrus. A soft ribbon of cinnamon and incense lends depth while patchouli and guaiac smooth the edges, creating a refined woody fruity signature that stays intriguing from first spray to drydown across seasons.

Story and Positioning
Conceived from the memory of sipping spiced black tea with wild berries in a primitive forest, Bois Datchaï contrasts crisp fruit with smoky resinous woods for a contemplative yet wearable signature. If you enjoy nuanced tea and wood perfumes, think of a space between Le Labo The Noir 29 and Byredo Mixed Emotions with a touch of blackcurrant richness akin to The Vagabond Prince Enchanted Forest, while remaining distinctly Maison Crivelli in its mineral calm and textural contrasts. As one of the house’s early pillars from 2018, it helped set the brand’s sensorial adventure brief that later expanded into extraits and new chapters.
Bottle and Design
Presented in clear, weighty glass with a crisp white label, the bottle is topped with a Zamac cap stamped with the Maison monogram. The cap is left unpolished, so each piece shows subtle variation, giving a tactile artisanal touch that reads modern on the vanity. Retail and brand materials note bottles produced in France and Spain, with presentation finished by hand in France.
