Bois d’enfant

• Everyday
• Work
• Cosy
• Casual

Bois d’enfant feels like a tender, almost creamy wood, blended with sweet, cosy notes. The mood is warm and reassuring, like a memory that returns gently.

The fragrance opens on something light and bright, then quickly turns softer and more gourmand. The woody notes are not dry here; they are softened by milky, lightly sweet nuances that give a very cosy feel.

Over time it settles onto a warm, musky base that stays close to the skin. The whole creates a sense of softness and comfort, like a familiar, soothing smell.

Maison Rebatchi is a French perfume house founded in 2018 by Mohamed Rebatchi, born in Créteil in 1991, the son of Algerian emigrants, who on the face of it was destined for none of this. At twelve, he would secretly wander through perfume shops after school. He taught himself, sharpened his nose and learnt the materials. No school, no network, no money, only a conviction and a knowledge of scent that ended up surprising those in the know. The adventure took a decisive turn the day he contacted Karine Chevallier. That meeting led to others: Randa Hammami, then Maurice Roucel, then Bertrand Duchaufour. With each collaboration, the same reaction: surprise at his command of materials and his ability to push perfumers ever further. Drawn to the man as much as to the project, these great names gave him what the industry rarely grants the self-taught: their trust and a free hand. Every perfume from the house is the fruit of this dynamic. One perfumer, one emblematic raw material, one personal story. Bois d’enfant by Karine Chevallier summons the pine forests of the Vendée. Cuir Tassili by Aliénor Massenet crosses the Algerian desert. Feu Patchouli by Bertrand Duchaufour brings smoke and spice. Joyeux Osmanthe and Musc Panache bear the signature of Maurice Roucel. Creation by creation, an invisible bridge takes shape between two cultures, France and Algeria.
