This is a very dry, nutty fragrance, like all-natural peanut butter. Like many others have said, I do get a sense of sawdust or cardboard, very strange. It's not an unpleasant fragrance, and I do...

Amazing fragrance! I went in L'artizan boutique to buy Tea for two or Dzongha or Dzing, and actually came out with this instead. Inthe first 15-20 minutes it smells exactly like flour. But then,...

I love the smell, but wish it lasted longer than 2 hours!

I get more of a milky almond component to this fragrance which makes me immediately think of a child's nursery room. Creamy, soft and powdery aroma. Really long lasting for an eau de toilette. I do...

I'm not even sure what went wrong with this. I grew up eating Farina and find the scent very comforting, so I assumed I would love this. Maybe it's the fennel seed? Something is just off and...

I am reviewing this from a sample only. I'm fairly new to the fragrance world but have quickly become very addicted to trying new scents. I know this one gets rave reviews on the boards but I was...

wood shavings and vanilla, for some reason I find the two notes are fighting for dominance on my skin. (wood shavings seem to be winning). I can appreciate how well done this is but its just not...

This fragrance has a pleasant nutty herb bread odor, and unlike some of the other reviewers, it was not at all salty on me, perhaps even a little sweeter (a tad mealy, like dough) than I'd like. In...

Wow, this is so comfortable, cozy and warm. I agree with the flour comparison. Not sweet at all. This would be a classic for me. If only I could afford it. I too rec'd this in a swap and have a...

This is truly a beautiful and unique fragrance, which is really great because so many new launches are just reiterations of something that is already on the market. It's a woody gourmand that's...

I loved sampling this so much that I bought a bottle. Unfortunately, my first spritz showed me that this scent was not to be mine. It went WAY TOO SALTY on me. It also took on what I considered...

Peanut butter and sandalwood musk. This is such a strange scent, most times it applies as straight crunchy, nutty peanut brittle, yet it is so comforting. I kept asking myself, why do I want to...

I approached Bois Farine with a bit of trepidation given its much touted “bread notes”. I mean, who wants to smell like a loaf of bread? Upon spraying, the first note I got was oddly yeasty and...

This is the scent of fresh bread dough. During part of it, I smelled some nuts. At the end of drydown, I smelled soft wood. The only reason that this isn't getting a 5 is because it's an EDT,...

I gave 3 lippies for originality, but it would be a 2 actually.
It's a very interesting fragrance for smelling purposes, nit a personal fragrance in my opinion. L'Artisan scents change a lot on...

This is an interesting scent. I liked it enough, but the dry down on me turned soapy and that was disappointing. The doughy scent when first applied is good, though it's sort of a salty dough smell...

(EDT) Yummy scent. First I get mellow hazelnut, and then it rapidly sweetens to the extent that it becomes sharply sweet. On my skin it is much like marzipan icing except with some ground hazelnuts...

This is a light fragrance that reminds me of sweet hay or cream of wheat. It's very pleasant, comforting, and unusual. However, for the price I don't think I'd buy a full bottle. I'll stick to my...
