Bois Noir is a divisive, woody beast - a sophisticated autumn walk in a bottle for some, an acrid, headache-inducing pencil shaving for others. Try before you buy, but if the dark woods speak to you, it's a stellar, unique choice.

This one's a wild ride. Expect a full-on, no-holds-barred animalic oud experience. It's divisive, rough around the edges, and certainly not for the faint-hearted or those who prefer a 'polite' oud. If you like it dirty and authentic, you'll love it; otherwise, steer clear.
