What do reviewers say about Bois Farine and Willows?
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
Willows doesn't announce itself. It arrives, settles, and stays. The cold powdery violet is the hook, but the tonka warmth underneath is what makes you reach for it again.Willows
