Key Notes of Bois Farine

What Does Bois Farine Smell Like

Bois Farine by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a unisex fragrance that distinctly echoes nature's earthy tones. The top notes invoke the slightly sweet and piquant aroma of fennel seeds, subtly enhanced by a hint of tangy grapefruit. This interesting, uplifting start gradually gives way to the perfume's heart, where the scent of ambrette seeds adds a musky nuance to the mix. The middle notes are dominated by the presence of dry, grain-like elements that evoke the smell of a golden wheat field under the sun, perfectly counterbalanced by the light floral touch of iris.

As the fragrance continues to develop, you're taken on a journey into a tranquil forest. With dominant sandalwood notes in the base, the scent becomes warmer, rich with a creamy, almost milky, woody undertone. The inclusion of Gaiac wood further emphasizes this woody character, offering a slight smoky touch, while the cedarwood adds a classic, outdoorsy freshness. The perfume is rounded off with the sweet, slightly vanilla-like aroma of benzoin that balances the overall woody and grainy features. The result is a comforting, earthy scent that is reminiscent of a peaceful walk through an enchanted forest. It's a beautiful blend of nature's finest offerings, creating a scent that is both modern and timeless.

Review of Bois Farine

Bois Farine by L'Artisan Parfumeur is an artful blend that leans distinctly into the woody and powdery categories, creating a comforting and grounded scent profile. It's a fragrance that doesn't shy away from its spice and sweetness, offering an intriguing balance that subtly hints at floral and gourmand notes. It's a perfume that'll make you feel like you're walking in a forest laced with an undercurrent of unexpected confectionery delights.

Given its scent profile, it's no surprise that Bois Farine is a go-to for the colder months of fall and winter, although it also performs well in the fresh renewal of spring. It's equally suited for a relaxed day-off, a regular workday, or a more formal business environment.

Despite its unisex label, it's a fragrance that seems to resonate slightly more with women, possibly due to its powdery backbone. However, men will also find this scent enjoyable and perfectly wearable due to its substantial woody character.

In terms of longevity and sillage, Bois Farine is not a loud or overly persistent perfume. It's instead a more personal scent, making it a perfect choice for those who prefer their fragrance to be more of an intimate experience rather than a grand announcement. The value proposition of Bois Farine aligns well with its quality and unique scent characteristics.
