    What do reviewers say about Bois Flotte and Encre Noire?

    Some woody fragrances announce themselves. This one doesn't. Bois Flotté is intimate from first spray, close enough to notice, impossible to ignore. The sea salt and warm spice open the conversation.Bois Flotte
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
