Does Bois Farine remind anyone else of JCE’s L’eau d’hiver for Malle?? To me it’s soooo similar—maybe a little less powdery….I’m in love. There’s definitely something about Jean Claude…..

[...] Hilary Duff With Love – mangosteen fruit, exotic spice blend, chai latte, mangosteen blossoms, cocobolo wood, amber milk, amber musk, balsam, incense. Quite a notable addition to the new releases, especially celebrity fragrances. What makes it stand apart is simply the fact it will actually stay in your memory as opposed to sniff and forget (SAF – a new abbreviation to our perfume jargon!) It’s excellently blended, and I particularly enjoy its milky-sweet, slightly bitter woody-ambery accord that’s somewhat reminiscent of woody flour/powder of Bois Farine by L’Artisan Parfumeur. [...]

Cait, yes, it’s full of interesting layers.

I forgot about this one. I think it’s marvelous in the way that some of the IUNX products were. It’s not “perfumey” but full of interesting layers.

I agree! It’s never cloying or obnoxious. I get no almond but I definitely get the nuttiness.

Ach, this is such a beauty. On me it smells nutty and creamy, so to me, it’s almost an almond milk scent. (Almost.) You get Nutella? Wow.

BF is such a nice choice on the right person for summer, no? Iit never smells too weighty or heavy even when it’s hot.

Yeah, I can see how you get Noir Epices in Goldmund. If you just take all the spices out, especially the pepper, it has a similar feel.

Hey, thanks for the Goldmund! That was the first one I tried, since it keeps getting mentioned. It’s gorgeous. It’s a little heavy for me this time of year, but I like the way it keeps changing. At first I found it spicy-ambery, but now something has dried off (vanilla?) and it is a spicy musk, which is delicious. This reminds me a little of Noir Epices, have you tried? Only less …. difficult. Although Noir Epices has this Guerlain-ish aspect that sends me over the moon.

March, honestly, just make up your mind already!
