What do reviewers say about Bois Farine and Madeleine?
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
It smells like the most elegant dessert you've ever eaten. The cumin gives it a pulse, without it, this would be a pretty face. With it, the face has a point of view.Madeleine
