    Maybe it's just the aldehydes, but there's a certain something about classic Chanels--something sweet but elegant, powdery but definitely not babyish. I love this note, and hoped Bois des Iles...

    When I heard about Bois des Iles, I was hoping it was overrated and that it would stink on me so that I wouldn't have to go through the hell of finding it again. Alas, I fell in love with the EDT...

    It's nicer to me than No. 5, but doesn't hold a candle to my beloved Coco. I found this perfume slightly masculine and way to powdery and floral. I didn't really smell any wood. I tried the EDT....

    Bois des Iles is dry, sweet woody perfection with a hint of gingerbread and a whisper of florals. This is a must-try for lovers of classic perfumes.

    Oh geez...I need to just face the fact that Chanel and I will never be friends. I went through hell to get my hands on a sample of the parfum, finally got it....and....I'm disappointed. Chanel,...

    This has been my mother's perfume for years and I thought I would like it - I do prefer it on her.

    Finally I have been able to try Bois des Iles (thanks to kealle!) On me the opening notes are slightly harsh - I can only smell sandalwood - but once the scent settles down on my skin it softens...

    Not only is this one FBW, but it's one of the few I'd consider owning in both its iterations, EDT and Parfum Extrait (I just bought the EDT, but I'm considering saving for the Extrait). It is...

    I tried this today in a Chanel boutique and my reaction is - what a gorgeous fragrance! When I first put it on, I found it overwhelmingly woodsy (the name, Bois des Iles, translates literally to...

    I join in the raving reviews - this must be the most beautiful of all Chanel perfumes. The jasmine and sandalwood notes remind me slightly of Guerlain's Samsara, but in Bois des Iles they are more...

    Heavenly, this is what "French perfume" should smell like in my mind. This could never overwhelm, it is soft, gorgeous, very grown up. Delicious. I am so excited to have this! I would be so...

    This is a beautiful woody-floral fragrance. On me it starts out more floral, but dries down, becoming a gorgeous sandalwood scent. I’ve received lots of compliments wearing this perfume. I used...

    Coming in so late in the game, I feel anything I can add is redundant. Just let me say that I've been shopping sandalwoods for a while now. I have even sniffed the legendary Tam Dao. But I laid...
