What do reviewers say about Bois Doré and Kaya?
Sweet-woody with an edge. For someone who wants vanilla without the obvious, almond without the pastry. The mineral and pepper give it a pulse beneath the warmth. A quiet luxury, not a statement.Bois Doré
Some fruity fragrances feel like they peaked at the opening. Kaya keeps going. The rum in the drydown is what separates this from every other berry-vanilla in the rack.Kaya
