    What do reviewers say about LOENCE and Bois Noir?

    Some fragrances announce themselves. LOENCE doesn't. The sillage rating of 6.2 out of 10 indicates moderate projection, sitting closer to the skin than many contemporary releases.LOENCE
    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
