    What do reviewers say about Milky No Way and Il Était Un Bois?

    Milky No Way smells like someone put hazelnut syrup in your latte and added a pinch of black pepper for fun. The cashmere wood in the drydown keeps it from being too sweet.Milky No Way
    The buckwheat note is the differentiator, nutty, green, and a little unexpected. If you've been burned by safe woody frags that smell like a candle shop, this one's for you. Not loud.Il Était Un Bois
