What do reviewers say about Bois Noir and Laudano Nero?
This is the dark horse. Dark woods. Resinous warmth. Eight to ten hours on skin, and it stays close, moderate sillage, not a room filler. Bois Noir is avant-garde done with French restraint.Bois Noir
Smoke that went sweet. That's the gamble here, honey finding its way into the ash and slate, vanilla that remembers it grew up in a pod. Too much? Maybe.Laudano Nero
