I've heard soooo much about Bois Farine and how bizarre it was, that I just had to test it. And here I am, smelling my wrist over and over again. This thing, I must agree, is so addictive. First...

I just had to try it. I had to see what all this floury, peanut buttery hype was all about. And here I am surprised to find myself addicted and reaching for it almost every day. It's not sexy,...

I bought Bois Farine and Jour De Fete because I was unsure as to which one I would gravitate towards and which one my sis might be into. Actually..that is a lie-I knew that my sis would be into...

Bois Farine is one of the scents in my collection that is truly all *for me*. Don't get me wrong, I do indeed love *all* the perfumes in my collection and they all make me happy, but there's a...

At first, I couldn't smell this PB thing you guys keep talkin' bout. Give it a few days rest, come back and try it, and the power of suggestion has RUINED your impression of this. At first I was in...

You might as well stop right here and read minimac's review, because I agree almost 100%, and I'm not sure I can pinpoint it more perfectly than "floury almonds in a warm kitchen with wood floors...

Curious scent, this. Very foody, without being sweet - I agree with a previous reviewer who said it was a 'conceptual' scent rather than a straight comfort scent. Floury almonds in a warm kitchen...

Flour. Uncooked dough. Maybe kneaded on a wooden countertop, but that's as far as the "bois" goes. When they say "farine," they're not kidding. A bizarre scent to aim for.

The genius of L'Artisan is making weird combinations work. So when I say this smells like Play-Doh and bread dough, that doesn't mean it doesn't work as perfume. Unusual but low-key, for the...

Interesting idea. Boring, bland fragrance. I didn't even get the floury/Play Doh/peanut butter notes everyone else is talking about. Just a very non descript clean/woody smell. Certainly not worth...

Even though not all the characteristics mentioned in the previous reviews sounded appealing, Bois Farine certainly sounded interesting and I was dying to try it. It was promising in the sample...

Bois Farine intriguied me from the start, with notes of flour from a mysterious plant on the Reunion Islands. But as soon as I smelled it, I knew I could never "get" this scent. It's not horrible,...

I was given this as a gift and didn't expect to like it. However, the gift giver was more than pleased with my overjoyed reaction! I love this fragrance. It reminds me of a trip to Egypt last year...

I can only say that Bois Farine is wonderful. Wonderfully woody-nutty. Unique, clean, deep, mysterious, at first a little smokey. Delicious. Yummy.

This smells like King's Hawaiian dinner rolls and pencil shavings on me. Not a *bad* smell, but not something I want to smell like, either!

I didn't get this one until on the second test-drive. I agree with many comments below, the top notes really are very off-beat, might be that fennel! Bois Farine is musty, woody, dry, milky... a...

I love this. When I first got a sample I thought how unusual and interesting that the top note smells just like flour. As the flour note fades it drys down to the most lovely sweet creamy woody...

This is quite a unique scent, and I'm not sure it will appeal to the traditional masses. Here in lies the wonder of it, however... the flour like opening, the nutty sweetness, and then the powdery...
