Which Should You Buy?
Bowmakers is a polarising scent, utterly authentic yet surprisingly wearable for some, while others find it too literal. Expect an olfactory trip to an artisan's workshop - wood, varnish, and all - but be warned, some find it a bit too much like body odour.
A creamy, woody, and intensely warm oriental that has achieved cult status. It's a genuine shame Yves Rocher binned this masterpiece, as it's left a legion of heartbroken fans desperate for its return.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its distinctive woody, resinous, and borderline 'varnish' accords might be too strong or unusual for a typical office setting. However, its natural, cozy dry down and moderate sillage make it suitable for casual wear, especially in cooler weather, with some finding it surprisingly sexy for dates.
