What do reviewers say about Vanille Benjoin and Bois Farine?
Built for the evening you want to last. Warmth that stays close, that leans into you rather than announcing itself. The benzoin brings something a little bitter, a little resinous.Vanille Benjoin
Bois Farine divides people on the iris. Some find it meditative, a quiet powder that becomes part of your skin. Others find it too soft, they want a fragrance that announces itself and Bois Farine.Bois Farine
