What do reviewers say about Bois Velours and Le Regent?
The hemp note divides people, that's not a warning, that's the whole point. It adds a green, slightly wild undertone that stops this from being another powdery leather.Bois Velours
This is the fragrance for someone who doesn't need a room to know they've entered it. The balsamic sweetness isn't aggressive, it's the kind of confidence that sits across from you and doesn't say.Le Regent
Good to know
