Dry smoke that rises in silence.
Incense, blond tobacco, whiskey, cade wood — austere, deep, enveloping.
Naomi Goodsir is an Australian milliner trained in Sydney and London, now based in France with her atelier of sculptural couture hats — recognized by Vogue Italia in 2015, collaborating with Kanye West and Amanda Harlech. Her perfumery reflects her image: artisanal, demanding, with no concession to easy seduction. Bois d'Ascèse, composed by Julien Rasquinet and handcrafted near Grasse, is the most direct demonstration of this.
The opening is restrained — Italian mandarin and angelica unfurl in a delicate, slightly herbaceous, almost filtered light that doesn't seek to shine. Then, the smoke slowly appears: oliban incense in its most resinous and dry facets, blond tobacco slightly honeyed and lightly smoky, whiskey in its malty and slightly alcoholic dimension — a heart accord of remarkable density and uniqueness. And the base is anchored in the driest material — slightly tarry and smoky cade wood, elegant and dry cedar, slightly earthy oakmoss, discreet musk that prolongs the sillage with restraint.
Bois d'Ascèse is the scent for those who don't need to do more — and who know it.

Bois d'Ascèse Eau de Parfum by Naomi Goodsir is a unisex smoky woody fragrance from the niche perfumery house founded by Australian milliner Naomi Goodsir, based in France. Composed by Julien Rasquinet and handcrafted near Grasse, it combines angelica and Italian mandarin in the opening, olibanum incense, blond tobacco, and whiskey in the heart, and cade wood, cedar, oakmoss, and musk in the base. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer. Free delivery from €100 (in France).
Its pyramid combines a luminous and restrained mandarin-angelica opening, a dry, smoky, and slightly alcoholic incense-tobacco-whiskey heart, and a deep, mineral cade-cedar-oakmoss base. A unisex smoky woody fragrance with a present sillage, for autumn and winter.
What is cade wood?
Cade wood is Juniperus oxycedrus — a Mediterranean shrub whose essential oil is obtained by wood distillation. It features slightly tarry, smoky, and slightly medicinal facets. It is the signature note of dry smoky woods — it evokes a extinguished wood fire, still warm ashes, smoke that lingers after the fire. In Bois d'Ascèse, it structures the base and gives it its most austere dimension.
Is the whiskey in the heart surprising?
Yes — and that's precisely what makes Bois d'Ascèse immediately recognizable. The whiskey note brings a malty, slightly alcoholic, and slightly smoky dimension that reinforces the incense-tobacco accord with unexpected depth. It's not a fragrance that smells like a bar — it's an accord that smells of density, time, and substance.
For what occasion?
At dusk and in the evening — its dry smoke and woody depth blossom as the skin warms up. It's also the fragrance for moments of retreat: reading, meditation, chosen solitude. An introspective fragrance that accompanies without imposing itself.
For what season?
Autumn and winter mainly — its smoky dryness and woody density flourish with the cold. It's a fragrance for the dark season, to be worn on days when one wants to be enveloped in something deep and unadorned.
