2nd time lucky for me - the first time I tried it, I didn't give it enough time to settle, and was put off by the almost harsh flour-like top note. Even though I still find the top notes slightly...

I think I have found 'my' holy grail skin scent, and it's Bois Farine. I don't get dough, or sweet, from this one. I do get the peanuts... a nutty quality that is pleasant and subtle. Along...

My first impression of Bois Farine was that it reminded me of stepping inside a big cedar chest on a cool fall day. I expected it to be quite a bit sweeter on my skin, but it came across very dry...

Thanks to a very generous MUAer for sending me a sample of this fragrance. As I open the vial, a blast of giant, luscious peanut butter cups meets my nose. Once applied, a more reasoned sniff...

Got a sample of this today, and I am quite impressed. Nutty, woodsy, and warm. Reminds me of Mechant Loup minus the honey. I might end up needing a full sized bottle of this.

A fuzzy blend of porridge, arid woody notes and slightly burnt sugar delineated by a hint of sourdough and baby sweat. Although conceptually it sounds like the archetypal comfort scent, there is...

This might turn into a five lipstick fragrance as I wear it more.<p> I am really enjoying this warm, woodsy scent. It definitely smells like flour and dough to me, but not sugary like more of...

This is a new limited edition from L'Artisan. However, since Passage d'Enfer also started out as limited edition, I'm hoping it will prove popular and be around for awhile. Here's what the...

Great unique scent. Unlike anything. It is hard to explain without trying it. It smells like something... that I have smelled in a past life. Nothing near me now, however. Dry and sweet, like...

Yet another fragrance from L'Artisan that leaves me wondering what the fuss is about. The opening pungent blast of cedar is a bit offputting, but it mellows out (and good grief, I was truly wearing...

I was prepared for the prominent cedar note, before application(cedar being a note I can only stomach in small doses). It is quite strong at first..a la eau de hamster cage, but morphs into a well...

I just keep coming back to this one. If I am wearing something else, I want it to wear off so I can smell Bois Farine on my skin again. I can see how some people find the cedar overpowering....

This fragrance is so one of a kind unusual. Thanks to both Mayra and sdavid, I was able sample this more than once. At first, it did not seem to be for me, but after a couple of tries, it grabbed...

This is an absolutely beautiful addition to the L'Artisan line of fragrances. I agree with other reviewers who describe a biscuit-like note. When I very first sprayed this on, I instantly smelled...

Thanks for sending this one along, Marina. I too got a strange, floury-biscuity opening from this fragrance, but within minutes it dried down to a beautiful, warm, woody, second-skin scent that...

Such an unusual perfume. The top spray did remind me of flour - yes wheat flour but then it morphs into something sandalwoody - sweet and comforting without being sickly. It is also gently...
