What do reviewers say about L'Eau d'Hiver and Bois Farine?
This is fragrance as understatement. No sillage theater, no performance. Just something worn against the skin like a cashmere turtleneck, present only to those already standing beside.L'Eau d'Hiver
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
