What do reviewers say about Bois Lumière and Miel De Bois?
It calls itself light. It's not. The honey isn't sunny, it's thick, amber-dark, closer to warm honeycomb. Beeswax and benzoin anchor everything deep into skin.Bois Lumière
The honey is raw and animalic, polarizing on purpose. Sweetness that doesn't know how to apologize. That intensity either pulls you in or makes you flinch. On skin, it only gets more interesting.Miel De Bois
