Performance looks reliably good rather than extreme. It often wears in the moderate to long-lasting range, with moderate to strong sillage, so a few sprays are usually enough for most settings.

EDITORIAL“Bois 1920 Cannabis Review”
Bois 1920 Cannabis is exactly what its name suggests. This is not a vague green fragrance dressed up with a provocative label. The cannabis accord is the point, and it stays central from start to finish. If you are expecting a crowd pleasing aromatic with a soft designer-style polish, this goes in a different direction.
The opening is sharp, green, and herbal, with an earthy bitterness that quickly sets the tone. It can feel brisk and slightly medicinal at first, especially if you are sensitive to pungent aromatic notes. Very early on, the scent gives a fresh-cut, leafy impression rather than anything sweet or creamy. That directness is part of its appeal, but it also explains why this is a fragrance many people should sample before buying.
As it settles, patchouli starts shaping the middle. This does not turn the fragrance into a heavy patchouli perfume, but it adds depth, dryness, and a darker earthy texture that supports the cannabis note well. The overall effect stays woody, herbal, and aromatic, with a smoky warmth underneath. It is not especially plush or rounded. Instead, it feels lean, assertive, and a little rough around the edges in a way that some niche fans will enjoy.
The dry-down stays consistent with the opening idea. Woody notes keep things grounded, while the cannabis accord remains visible rather than fading into the background. That relative linearity can be a drawback if you want a fragrance that shifts noticeably through the day. On the other hand, if you are buying Cannabis for its core theme, the fact that it keeps delivering that profile is also a strength.
In wear, this usually reads best in spring and mild summer conditions, where the green and aromatic facets have room to breathe. In very hot weather it may feel more pointed, and in very formal settings it can come across as too niche or too provocative. Casual wear, creative settings, and relaxed evening use make more sense than boardrooms or dressed-up occasions.
Performance appears comfortably above average. It usually lands in the moderate to long-lasting range, with projection that can feel moderate to strong depending on application. That gives it enough presence to be noticed without forcing it into full powerhouse territory. Because the scent profile itself is unusual, restraint is sensible.
Bois 1920 Cannabis is for the wearer who wants a green, woody fragrance with attitude and does not need universal approval. It offers a distinctive take on cannabis as a perfume idea, but it is not especially versatile and it will not suit every taste. If the idea of a dry, herbal, patchouli-tinged cannabis scent sounds appealing, it is worth testing. If you want softness, sweetness, or easy elegance, there are safer options.
