What do reviewers say about Bois Blonds and Bois Velours?
Bois Blonds won't fill a room. That's the point. The wearer who chooses this has nothing to prove. Vetiver's earthy dryness is the quiet authority in the drydown.Bois Blonds
The hemp note divides people, that's not a warning, that's the whole point. It adds a green, slightly wild undertone that stops this from being another powdery leather.Bois Velours
